Enabling Ultra DMA/33 support under Windows 98/95

Ultra DMA/33 mode is a new standard whereby the CD-ROM can transfer data through the DMA interface at speeds up to 33 MB/sec. This is supported only in new motherboards that are just now appearing in the market. You must determine what type of mother board you have to see if this function is supported. The Intel 430TX, 440LX and newer motherboards support Ultra DMA/33. Please contact your computer manufacturer or motherboard maker to determine if this function is supported.

If your motherboard or computer supports Ultra DMA/33, you must enable it in the BIOS. Consult your system manual for this.

Install the PCI IDE driver (Win95 version) which supports Ultra DMA/33. This is provided by your computer manufacturer. If this driver was not supplied, then you must contact your computer manufacturer for this driver. I/OMagic cannot supply this to you.
