IDE Interface (J6)
The ReadyBoard 800 provides one primary IDE connector (J6) for two IDE devices and one compact
flash socket (J23) on the secondary IDE controller.
The I/O Hub (Southbridge) EIDE interface logic supports the following features:
• Transfer rate up to 100 Mbps
• Increased reliability using Ultra DMA 33/66/100 transfer protocols
• Supports ATAPI and DVD compliant devices
• PIO IDE transfers as fast as 14 Mbps
• Single Bus Master EIDE
• Supports two IDE drives on primary interface and one compact flash card on the secondary IDE
Table 3-5 describes the primary IDE pins/ signals for the IDE 44-pin, 2 rows, odd/even (1, 2) with
2 mm pin spacing.
