IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

The four 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. The options available are Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, and Mode 4.

IDE Primary/Secondary 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 (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software support Ultra DMA 33/66/100, select Auto to enable BIOS support. The options available are Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, and Mode 2.

On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE
