devices use an interrupt request to notify the CPU for the service
required. The following table shows the IRQ lines used by the devices on
the motherboard:

3.9 Onboard PCI-IDE
The Intel 810 chipset's built-in's PCI-IDE controller supports PIO mode
3/4 and bus mastering Ultra DMA/66 / Ultra DMA/33. The peak transfer
rate of PIO mode 3/4 can be as high as 17MB/sec. Using HDDs that
support Ultra DMA/66, the peak transfer rate can reach 66MB/sec. The
peak transfer rate of PIO mode 3/4 can be as high as 17MB/sec. There are
two IDE connectors - primary IDE and secondary IDE. With two devices
per connector, up to four IDE devices can be supported.
3.10 DMA Channels
There are seven DMA channels available on the motherboard; only
DMA2 is used by the floppy controller. In the case that ECP mode on the
parallel port is utilized, DMA1 or DMA3 will be used.
