Primary/Secondary Master/Slave LBA Mode
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is a new IDE HDD access method
developed to overcome the 528-megabyte capacity bottleneck. If
your IDE hard disk capacity is greater than 528MB, AMIBIOS can
enable this LBA mode feature. This option is only for Primary Master
IDE LBA mode.
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave Block Mode
If your hard disk drive supports IDE block transfer mode, enable this
option for a faster IDE hard disk drive transfer rate. This option is
only for Primary Master Block mode.
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO Mode
This option enables Primary Master IDE PIO mode on the IDE, which
can set proper cycle timings. The cycle timing between the IDE PIO
mode value and IDE cycle timing is shown below:
Mode 0 -> Timing (600ns) Mode 1 -> Timing (383ns)
Mode 2 -> Timing (240ns) Mode 3 -> Timing (180ns)
Mode 4 -> Timing (120ns) Mode 5 -> Timing (60ns)
