; ; ALi M5229 IDE Bus Master Controller INF file ; ; Description: ; The driver feature can be controlled by changing the registry key value. ; The initial registry key value is set according to INF file. The following ; are the procedures of controlling the driver feature. ; ; 1. To change the device transfer mode, search [DrvArg.Reg] section and find ; "HKLM,SOFTWARE\ALi\M5229,Mode,1,n,n,n,n" ; | | | | ; | | | + ----- Secondary channel device 1 ; | | + ------- Secondary channel device 0 ; | + --------- Primary channel device 1 ; + ----------- Primary channel device 0 ; ; where n represent the transfer mode : ; 0 - Auto detect, the driver decide the transfer mode of the device. ; 1 - PIO ; 2 - DMA ; 3 - Ultra DMA ; ; The user can change the value of n to decide the device transfer mode. ; ; Note : ; If the driver has been installed,the transfer mode can also be changed ; by searching the registry path : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ALi\M5229. ; Change the value of key 'Mode' according to the above transfer mode definition ; and then restart. ; ; 2. To disable the secondary channel and free its resource, please search ; [DUAL_MASTER_IDE.RegHW] section and find ";HKR,,ChannelOptions,1,01". ; Remove the comment mark ';' and use this INF file to install IDE driver. ; ; Note: ; After the driver is installed, secondary channel enable/disable can be ; controlled by using device manager. First, open control pannel and select ; system item. Second, select the hardisk controller and double click the " ; ALi Bus Master PCI to IDE Controller" to see its properity page. Channel ; enable/disable can then be changed via the setting menu.
