| ---help--- |
| 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. |

| |
| Useful information about large (>540 MB) IDE disks, multiple |
| interfaces, what to do if ATA/IDE devices are not automatically |
| detected, sound card ATA/IDE ports, module support, and other |

| ATAPI driver. |
| |
| This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native |
| driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI PD-CD drive); |
| 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 |

| this SCSI emulation can be used instead. |
| |
| Note that this option does NOT allow you to attach SCSI devices to a |
| box that doesn't have a SCSI host adapter installed. |
