IDE Prefetch

Not available for Offboard Primary and
Offboard Secondary IDE Controller.

IDE prefetch mode reads part of the data from
the IDE drive before the CPU actually asks for
the data. This mechanism makes data reads
faster when large blocks of data are read.

Setting Description

Disabled

Do not enable IDE prefetch

mode

(Default). 

You must use this setting if 

loading the OS/2 IDE device

drivers.
Master

Enable IDE prefetch mode for the

master

IDE drive attached to the primary IDE
controller.

Slave

Enable IDE prefetch mode for the slave
IDE drive attached to the primary IDE
controller.

Both

Enable IDE prefetch mode for

both the

Primary and Secondary IDE controller

.

Onboard Primary/

Onboard

Secondary
