DMA
Important!
Please read the entire DMA installation guide before installing your CD-R/RW drive.
About DMA Installation
For stable writing performance at high speeds, Installation of DMA transfer mode for
IDE/ATAPI interface is strongly recommended. Especially for writing at 12x speed,
DMA installation should be set to enabled on your PC system instead of PIO transfer
mode. If DMA is not set to enabled on your PC, the data transfer may become too
slow and resulting in data writing errors.
DMA Setting
Before you install your CD-R/RW drive, we recommend to set DMA to enabled on
your PC system. See the following procedure to set DMA transfer mode in windows
oprerating system. (Windows 95 OSR2/98/ME)
