How to know DMA modes for IDE Channels?

[Dmitriy Kopnichev]

I updated drivers of the Primary and Secondary IDE Channels, and information
about DMA mode disappeared from the Channels Properties. How to know the DMA
modes for the IDE Channels?

[Rick \Nutcase\ Rogers]

Hi,

Control Panel/system/hardware tab/device manager, click view-->"resource by
type", expand the IRQ branch, double-click the controller in question. On
the Advanced Settings tab, it will indicate the DMA mode in use for each
drive attached.

If you installed "enhanced" IDE drivers (also available for my Asus A7N8X
M/B), the IDE ports will show up as SCSI devices. It is "assumed" that all
are in UDMA mode 5 (by default).

I don't know what was installed. I just chose default options in the Update
Driver Wizard. My motherboard is Asus too.

The IDE Channels didn't show up as SCSI devices in my case.

Hi,
The Advanced Settings tab disappeared after updating drivers of the IDE
Channels.

The previous versions set PIO mode although "DMA if available" was selected.

Are your HDD's DMA compliant? Are you using a DMA IDE cable (80
channel) between the board and drive?
