It is clear that the mass storage needs of the personal computer industry are expanding to include higher performance and connectivity requirements. Enhanced IDE was developed in response to these requirements. The industry is already embracing Enhanced IDE and its elements of improved functionality, performance, and connectivity by introducing products in the calendar fourth quarter of 1993. These products include BIOS support for >528MB IDE hard disk drives, the shipment of >528MB IDE drives themselves, silicon and controller products supporting fast PIO and DMA transfers, and hardware supporting dual channel IDE for multiple device connectivity. The development of the industry's first standard IDE non- disk peripherals is now established.
