The correct way to use PCI IDE BUS MASTERING is described below: 1. For non- Windows OS, enable PCI IDE bus mastering in the BIOS setup. 2. For Windows NT 4.0/95/ or OS/2, use the PCI IDE bus mastering drivers supplied by the OS, or the drivers supplied by Intel® (Intel® writes all PCI IDE bus mastering drivers). 3. Do not enable both software (PCI IDE Bus Mastering drivers) and hardware (the BIOS PCI IDE Bus Mastering option) PCI IDE Bus Mastering at the same time. *Windows98 includes most of the built-in drivers.
