ATA/100 is a new IDE specification under developing. ATA/100 uses both rising edge and falling edge as ATA/66 but clock cycle time is
reduced to 40ns. The data transfer rate is (1/40ns) x 2 bytes x 2 = 100MB/s. To use ATA/100, you need special 80-wire IDE cable, the same
as ATA/66.

The traditional PIO (Programmable I/O) IDE requires the CPU to involve in all the activities of the IDE access including waiting for the
mechanical events. To reduce the workload of the CPU, the bus master IDE device transfers data from/to memory without interrupting CPU,
and releases CPU to operate concurrently while data is transferring between memory and IDE device. You need the bus master IDE driver
and the bus master IDE HDD to support bus master IDE mode.
