This motherboard supports Ultra
ATA33
,
ATA66
and
ATA100
IDE devices. Following table lists the transfer rate of IDE PIO and
DMA modes. The IDE bus is 16-bit, which means every transfer is two bytes.

Tip:
To achieve the best performance of Ultra ATA 66/100 hard
disks, a special
80-wires IDE cable
for Ultra ATA 66/100 is
required.
