Transfer Mode (IDE devices only)
Specifies the active data transfer mode.

Translation Mode (IDE disks only)
Lets you select the translation mode to be
used for the device. This enables the BIOS to
access disks partitioned and formatted on
other systems and may be necessary for

UNIX version 3.2). Options are Bit-Shift,
LBA Assisted, User, and None.

mode selected automatically by the BIOS
should not be changed. If the selected
translation mode is not compatible with
the translation mode that was active when
the disk was partitioned and formatted,
the data on the disk will be inaccessible.
