        !            24: This ISA and PCI bus device driver is designed to run on Intel-based computers running <<OS_NAME>> Release <<OS_RELEASE>>. It automatically detects and configure itself for Intel PIIX PCI IDE controllers. \

        !            36: \b0\fi-380\li740\fc1\cf1   *   The Enhanced IDE/ATAPI device driver is required for support of IDE drives, EIDE drives, and ATAPI devices. \
        !            37:   *    The EIDE/ATAPI driver supports up to two IDE controllers, primary (ports 0x1f0 to 0x1f7, IRQ 14) and secondary (ports 0x170 to 0x177, IRQ 15).  Each IDE controller can support up to two IDE drives in a master/slave configuration. \

        !            40: \fs24 IDE drives of all geometries are supported as long as the system BIOS reports correctly translated geometry and drive size.  Use of PIO Modes 3 and above require support of the IORDY line by the host IDE controller.\
        !            41: 
        !            42: \fs16   *      
        !            43: \fs24 An ATAPI device can be connected in place of an IDE device as long as it is not a master in a master/slave configuration where slave is an IDE disk.  It is suggested that you connect your hard drives(s) to the primary controller and your CD-ROM(s) to the secondary controller if possible.\
        !            44:   *    The Intel PIIX PCI IDE controller is supported. This allows the driver to do 32-bit data transfers and use faster timing modes if the disk supports them. In addition, bus master based DMA is also supported for Ultra DMA/33, Multiword, and Single word DMA modes.

        !            90:                Enabling this option will usually increase performance and\
