Feature Guide
Large IDE Hard Disks
For ГОЕ hard disk drives, the BIOS provides three modes to sup­
port both normal IDE hard disks and also drives larger than 528MB:
Normal - for IDE drives smaller than 528MB
Large - for drives larger than 528MB that do not use LBA. These
can only be used with the MS-DOS operating system.
LBA - for drives larger than 528MB and up to 8.4 GB (GigaBytes)
that use Logic Block Addressing mode.
Other IDE Devices
Enhanced IDE allows the use of IDE devices other than hard
disks. Two devices that previously required non-standard or adapted
interfaces and are now available as standard IDE devices are Tape
Backup and CD-ROM drives. These will now be able to take advan­
tage of the ease of installation, lower cost and in some cases superior
performance of Enhanced ГОЕ, putting an end to the system configu­
ration complications created by their earlier interfaces.
To use IDE devices other than hcird disks with this mainboard you
may need to install a device driver in your system software configu­
ration. Refer to the documentation that comes with any device you
will install for instructions about this and any other installation re­
quirements.
