IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO
The IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode for the
IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4
provide successively increased performance. In [Auto] mode, the system
automatically determines the best mode for each device.
IDE Primary Master/Slave UDMA
Ultra DMA 66/100 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive
supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (W indows
ME, XP or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your
system software both support Ultra DMA/66 and Ultra DMA/100, select [Auto]
to enable BIOS support.
