3.10.1 IDE HDD Block Mode

If you enable IDE HDD Block Mode, the enhanced IDE driver will be

enabled. Leave IDE HDD Block Mode on the default setting.

3.10.2 IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode,

IDE Secondary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode (Auto)

Each channel (Primary and Secondary) has both a master and a slave,

making four IDE devices possible. Because each IDE device may have

a different Mode timing (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is necessary for these to be

independent. The default setting “Auto” will allow autodetection to

ensure optimal performance.

3.10.3 On-Chip PCI IDE Primary/Secondary

You can enable the Primary IDE channel and/or the Secondary IDE

channel. Any channel not enabled is disabled. This field is for systems

with only SCSI drives.
