ATA/100 is a new IDE specification under developing. ATA/100 uses both rising edge and falling
edge as
ATA/66
but clock cycle time is reduced to 40ns. The data transfer rate is (1/40ns) x 2 bytes
x 2 = 100MB/s. To use ATA/100, you need special 80-wire IDE cable, the same as ATA/66.

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 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.
