Mode 4

The IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields
let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four
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 UDMA

IDE Primary Slave UDMA

Auto

Disabled

Ultra DMA implementation is possible only if
your IDE hard drive supports it and the
operating environment includes a DMA driver
(Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus
master driver). If the hard drive and the system
software both support Ultra DMA, select Auto to
enable BIOS support.

IDE HDD Block Mode

Enabled

Disabled

Block mode is also called block transfer,
multiple commands, or multiple sector
read/write. If the IDE hard drive supports block
mode (most new drives do), select Enabled for
automatic detection of the optimal number of
block read/writes per sector the drive can
support.

Onboard FDC Controller

Enabled

Disabled

Select Enabled if your system has a floppy disk
controller (FDC) installed on the system board
and you wish to use it. If you are not going to
use FDC or the system has no floppy drive,
select Disabled in this field.
