Information ................................11

The Ultra ATA/133 PCI Card (the PCI Card) is a single-chip PCI to ATA
controller card. It accepts host commands through the PCI bus,
processes them, and transfers data between the host and ATA
devices. It can be used to control two independent ATA channels:
primary and secondary. Each channel has its own ATA bus and will
support up to two ATA/ATAPI devices for a maximum of four devices.
The PCI Card supports up to a 133Mbps transfer rate exceeding that
which is specified in ATA/ATAP1-6.

Key Benefit

The PCI Card is the perfect single-chip solution for designs
based on chipsets without an integrated ATA host controller, or
designs that need to expand the number of ATA channels to
accommodate the growing number of storage peripherals with
ATA interface. Any system with a PCI bus interface can simply
add an Ultra ATA/133 interface by adding the PCI Card and
loading the driver into the system.

The PCI Card comes with drivers for DOS, Windows 98,
Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, and Windows XP. It is also fully compatible with default
IDE drivers from Microsoft.
