The type of IDE device installed can be configured using this
option. [Default setting is Auto for auto-detect]
These modules make it possible for the BIOS to take advantage
of the additional space on drives which are larger than 504MB.
This can be auto-detected (when you select Auto for Type), or
you can manually set this mode to Disabled. [Default setting is
Auto]
When set to Auto, the block mode auto-detects the optimal num-
ber of block read/writes per section that the drive supports.
[Default is 0]
Programming input/output is a method of transmitting data
between devices that use the system's CPU as part of the data

and 1 auto mode. To use modes 3 and 4, you must use an
Enhanced IDE drive. [Default is Auto]
This option secifies the Direct Memory Access mode for the IDE
device. If set to Auto, the BIOS will determine the DMA mode.
