16  * This COM32 module detects if the PLoP Boot Manager was used to boot a CDROM
17  * drive or USB drive, by checking for the presence of the PLoP INT13h hook.
18  *
19  * Usage:    ifplop.c32 [<plop_detected>] -- [<plop_not_detected>]
20  * Examples: ifplop.c32 menu.c32 another.cfg -- plpbt hiddenusb usb1=2
21  *              You need to remove the ".bin" extension of the plpbt.bin file
22  *              if you use it this way.
23  *           ifplop.c32 plop_detected -- plop_not_detected
24  *
25  * A possible config file could be:
26  *
27  * ===========================================================================
28  *  DEFAULT plopcheck
29  *
30  *  # Check for the presence of PLoP (run by default)
31  *  #   When PLoP INT13h hook is found, run the first command (plop_detected)
32  *  #   When PLoP INT13h hook isn't found, run the second command (plop_not_detected)
33  *  LABEL plopcheck
34  *      COM32 ifplop.c32
35  *      APPEND plop_detected -- plop_not_detected
36  *
37  *  # When PLoP INT13h hook was found, boot the menu system.
38  *  # PLoP can have added USB 2.0 speed, so the entries we want to boot
39  *  # will be read from disk much faster (supposing that we have a BIOS
40  *  # that only supports USB 1.1 speed, but a mobo with USB 2.0 controllers).
41  *  LABEL plop_detected
42  *      COM32 menu.c32
43  *      APPEND another.cfg
44  *
45  *  # PLoP INT13h hook wasn't found, so we boot PLoP, so it can add USB 2.0 support
46  *  # When using "LINUX plpbt.bin", you don't need to remove the .bin extension.
47  *  LABEL plop_not_detected
48  *      LINUX plpbt.bin
49  *      APPEND hiddenusb usb1=2
50  *
51  * ===========================================================================
52  *
53  * Why is/can this module be useful?
54  *
55  * You may want to boot PLoP by default from Syslinux when you boot from your
56  * USB stick/drive:
57  *   1. PLoP can upgrade USB 1.1 speed offered by the BIOS to USB 2.0 speed
58  *      if you have USB 2.0 controllers on your mobo.
59  *   2. Some BIOSes only can access the first 128GiB (137GB) on USB drives, while
60  *      internal hard drives don't necessarily suffer from this 128GiB problem.
61  *      Using PLoPs USB capabilities, you can access the whole drive.
62  *
63  * When you select the "USB" entry in PLoP, it will boot your USB stick/drive
64  * again and it will boot PLoP again when you have set booting PLoP as DEFAULT
65  * boot option in your Syslinux configuration file.
66  *
67  * By using ifplop.c32 you can specify which action you want to do the second
68  * time your USB stick/drive is booted. So you can load another config file or
69  * boot a large hard disk image or whatever you want.
