3.7 Install Bus Master IDE Driver

The traditional PIO (Programmable I/O) IDE requires the CPU to involve in all
the activities of the IDE access including waiting for the mechanical events. To
reduce the workload of the CPU, the bus master IDE device transfers data
from/to memory without interrupting the CPU and releases CPU to operate
concurrently while data is transferring between memory and IDE device. You
need the bus master IDE driver and the bus master IDE HDD to support bus
master IDE mode.
