EIDE Primary Master/Slave PIO
The EIDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode
for the EIDE devices that the onboard EIDE interface supports. Modes 0
through 4 provide successively increased performance. In [Auto] mode,
the system automati- cally determines the best mode for each device.
EIDE Primary Master/Slave UDMA
Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 implementation is possible only if your EIDE
hard drive supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA
driver (Windows ME, XP or a third-party EIDE bus master driver). If
your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA/33,
Ultra DMA/66, Ultra DMA/100 and Ultra DMA/133, select [Auto] to
enable BIOS support.
