OnChip IDE Device
Press <Enter> and the following sub-menu appears:
IDE HDD Block Mode
Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector
read/write. If your 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. Settings: [Enabled], [Disabled].
IDE DMA transfer access
Setting to [Enabled] will open DMA bus master and execute DMA action in DOS,
which will make the data transferring faster. Setting options: [Disabled], [Enabled].
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. Setting options:
[Auto], [Mode 0], [Mode 1], [Mode 2], [Mode 3], [Mode 4].
