IFB Usage Considerations
10-14 Intel® 460GX Chipset Software Developer’s Manual
10.5.9 Example Configurations
This section provides examples of drive configurations on a IFB-based system.
10.5.9.1 Example #1: Ultra DMA/33 Configuration
In the above configuration, since both drives support Ultra DMA, Ultra DMA will be enabled on
each of the drives: Ultra DMA Mode 2 for Drive 0 and Ultra DMA Mode 1 for Drive 1. Non-ultra
DMA and Fast PIO support will be enabled on each drive as well.
