IDE/HDD Performance

Select PIO Mode

All items on this menu are described in the sequence below.

Disable IR

IRQ resouces are very limited. UART2 occupies 8 consecutive ports and an

IRQ. If no free IRQ is left for PCMCIA card, and IR is not used, user can

disable IR.

IDE/HDD Performance

This allows users to set HDD transfer speed. There are three speeds :

Maximum/Medium/Compatible speeds. BIOS will detect HDD maximum speed

and set it if users want high performance. But users have to know that some

HDDs can not accept this highest speed. It’ s better to select Medium speed for

this case.

Select PIO Mode

There is four modes: SPP/PS2/EPP/ECP modes. SPP is the old standard and is

the most compatible mode.

Select MODEM Port

If user plugs in Internal Modem, he can select the modem port here.
