IDE HDD Block Mode
This allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer
data to and from your hard disk drive (HDD).
Enabled
IDE controller uses block mode.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode
(0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports.
Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode,
the system automatically determines the best mode for each device.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
Ultra DMA/33 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports
it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2
or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system
software both support Ultra DMA/33, select Auto to enable BIOS support.
The Choice: Auto, Disabled
On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE
The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for
two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate each channel separately.
