****************************************************************************
*       SUPPORTED DEVICES                                                  *
****************************************************************************
In general, bus mastering is possible for ATA fixed disk and ATAPI devices 
that support the following DMA timing modes:
	Single Word DMA Mode 2
	Multi-Word DMA Mode 1
	Multi-Word DMA Mode 2

These devices will be accessed by the driver in either a bus mastering
or a PIO fashion, depending on the transfer conditions. 

Devices that do not support the DMA timing modes listed above will be
accessed in a PIO-fashion ONLY.

Devices whose PIO timings are faster than DMA timings will be accessed in a
PIO-fashion ONLY.

*       TROUBLE SHOOTING                                                   *
****************************************************************************
The following procedure can be followed in order to verify that the driver
is working properly through the System applet. The procedure assumes that
the installation procedure in this document was followed.

In order to verify the installation of the driver:
	A.  Open the Control Panel folder.

	B.  Invoke the System applet.

	C.  Click on the Device Manager option.

	D.  Click on the View Devices by Type button.
		A list of the system devices connected to the system 
		will be displayed.

	E.  Click on the Hard Disk Controllers record.
	    For case 1, there should be three instances listed.
	    *  Intel 82430FX PCI Bus Master IDE Controllers
	    *  Primary PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
	    *  Secondary PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
	    Goto step F for case 1.

	    For case 2, there should be two instances listed:
		* Intel 82430FX PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
		* Intel 82430FX PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
	    Goto step G for case 2.

	F.  Verify proper controller operation (case 1).
	    There should be no yellow warning symbol displayed next to 
	    either the Intel 82430FX PCI Bus Master IDE Controllers or the 
	    Primary Bus Master IDE Controller instances.

	    There should be no yellow warning symbol displayed next to the 
	    Secondary Intel 82430FX PCI Bus Master IDE Controller if there 
	    is an IDE device (fixed disk or ATAPI) connected to the secondary 
	    PIIX IDE interface.  NOTE: It is normal for a yellow warning 
	    symbol to be displayed when there is no device connected to the
	    secondary PIIX IDE interface.

	    If a yellow warning symbol occurs because of an error, the 
	    driver has not been installed and/or is not working properly.

	G.  Verify proper controller operation (case 2).
	    There should be no yellow warning symbol displayed next to the 
	    first Intel 82430FX PCI Bus Master IDE Driver instance.

	    There should be no yellow warning symbol displayed next to the 
	    second Intel 82430FX PCI Bus Master IDE Driver instance if there 
	    is an IDE device (fixed disk or ATAPI) connected to the PIIX 
	    Secondary interface.  It is normal for a yellow warning symbol 
	    to be displayed by the second instance when no IDE device is 
	    connected to it.

	    If a yellow warning symbol occurs because of an error, the 
	    driver has not been installed and/or is not working properly.

Common Problem:  A real-mode ATAPI CD-ROM or IDE device driver is loaded in
		 the AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or CONFIG.SYS files.

This will cause a conflict with the 82430FX PCI Bus Master IDE driver, since
it may access the Legacy ISA IDE resources to control the PIIX.  Remove the
references to these real-mode drivers from the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
files.

****************************************************************************
*       IDENTIFYING THE DRIVER'S VERSION NUMBER                            *
****************************************************************************
The following procedure describes how to identify the driver's version
number using the application, SEEVER.EXE.  This procedure assumes that the 
SEEVER.exe program and the driver file, IDEATAPI.MPD are in the same 
working directory (<path>).

1.  Open a MS-DOS Prompt command window.

2.  Run the SEEVER.exe version identification utility.
	<path>\SEEVER IDEATAPI.MPD

	SEEVER will report the version number and build date of the
	IDEATAPI.MPD driver file.
