Programmed I/O (PIO) Mode
IDE PIO mode programs timing cycles between the IDE drive and the programmable
IDE controller. As the PIO mode increases, the cycle time decreases.
Set the PIO Mode option to Auto to have AMIBIOS select the PIO mode used by the
IDE drive being configured. If you select a specific value for the PIO mode, you must
make absolutely certain that you are selecting the PIO mode supported by the IDE drive
being configured.

32Bit Mode
Hard disk drives connected to the SBC via the ISA Bus transfer data 16 bits at a time.
An IDE drive on the PCI Local Bus can use a 32-bit data path.
If the 32Bit Mode parameter is set to On, AMIBIOS enables 32-bit data transfers. If the
host controller does not support 32-bit transfer, this feature must be disabled.
Available options are:
