| If you say Y here, your kernel will be able to manage low cost mass | |
| storage units such as ATA/(E)IDE and ATAPI units. The most common | |
| cases are IDE hard drives and ATAPI CD-ROM drives. | |
| If your system is pure SCSI and doesn't use these interfaces, you | |
| can say N here. | |
| Integrated Disk Electronics (IDE aka ATA-1) is a connecting standard | |
| for mass storage units such as hard disks. It was designed by | |
| Western Digital and Compaq Computer in 1984. It was then named | |
| ST506. Quite a number of disks use the IDE interface. | |
| AT Attachment (ATA) is the superset of the IDE specifications. | |
| ST506 was also called ATA-1. | |
| Fast-IDE is ATA-2 (also named Fast ATA), Enhanced IDE (EIDE) is | |
| ATA-3. It provides support for larger disks (up to 8.4GB by means of | |
| the LBA standard), more disks (4 instead of 2) and for other mass | |
| storage units such as tapes and cdrom. UDMA/33 (aka UltraDMA/33) is | |
| ATA-4 and provides faster (and more CPU friendly) transfer modes | |
| than previous PIO (Programmed processor Input/Output) from previous | |
| ATA/IDE standards by means of fast DMA controllers. | |
| ATA Packet Interface (ATAPI) is a protocol used by EIDE tape and | |
| CD-ROM drives, similar in many respects to the SCSI protocol. | |
| SMART IDE (Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) was | |
| designed in order to prevent data corruption and disk crash by | |
| detecting pre hardware failure conditions (heat, access time, and | |
| the like...). Disks built since June 1995 may follow this standard. | |
| The kernel itself doesn't manage this; however there are quite a | |
| number of user programs such as smart that can query the status of | |
| SMART parameters from disk drives. | |
| To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the | |

| disk/cdrom/tape/floppy drives. | |
| Useful information about large (>540 MB) IDE disks, multiple | |
| interfaces, what to do if ATA/IDE devices are not automatically | |

| This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native | |

| you can then use this emulation together with an appropriate SCSI | |
| device driver. In order to do this, say Y here and to "SCSI support" | |

| command line "hdx=ide-scsi" (try "man bootparam" or see the | |
| documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to | |
| pass options to the kernel at boot time) for devices if you want the | |

| Note that this option does NOT allow you to attach SCSI devices to a | |

| There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. Most people use | |

| since it lacks the enhanced functionality of the new one. This makes | |
