PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
• Two PCI IDE interfaces support up to four IDE devices
• Supports ATA/33, ATA/66 and ATA/100 hard drives
• PIO Mode 4 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate up to 14MB/
sec.)
• Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk transfer
• Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP
IrDA Interface
The system board is equipped with an IrDA connector for wire-
less connectivity between your computer and peripheral devices.
The IRDA (Infrared Data Association) specification supports data
transfers of 115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.
USB Ports
The system board suppor ts USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1
suppor ts 12Mb/second bandwidth while USB 2.0 suppor ts
480Mb/second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in
device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range
of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
IEEE 1394 Interface
• VIA VT6307 PCI 1394 integrated host controller
• Supports two 100/200/400 Mb/sec ports
IEEE 1394 is fully compliant with the 1394 OHCI (Open Host
Controller Interface) 1.1 specification. It supports up to 63 de-
vices that can run simultaneously on a system. 1394 is a fast ex-
ternal bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to
400Mbps. In addition to its high speed, it also suppor ts iso-
chronous data transfer which is ideal for video devices that need
to transfer high levels of data in real-time. 1394 supports both
Plug-and-Play and hot plugging.
