What dword value enables DMA mode transfers in registry?

Recommended Posts

I'm having the ol 'Windows 2000/XP won't detect proper transfer speed of devices attached to 2nd IDE channel on a VIA system board' prob.

 

Here is the registry key for my 2nd ide channel:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001

 

The 2 values I'm interested in are:

 

MasterDeviceTimingMode and MasterDeviceTimingModeAllowed (both dword)

 

Assuming my hunch is correct what values in the data field will enable 'Multi-Word DMA Mode 2' transfer rates? (I think that is what it was anyhow!)

 

Thanks in advance for any help given smile

That's not quite correct...

 

MasterDeviceTimingMode = 0x00002010 (8208) This is the setting for

Ultra DMA Mode 2...

 

The setting for Multi-Word DMA Mode 2 is 0x00000410 (1040)
