I understand that it is recommend for normal IDE drives, but what if I am using an Industrial grade CompactFlash card C:\ (as well as a non industrial grade one for my drive D:\?

Do I *still* need to enable DMA for these CF cards?

Thanks!

It will most likely not stay enabled after a reboot, since it doesn't seem to work with CF cards and 9x. Just try it. If it does not work or is not supported, it will fall back to PIO automatically.

I just ticked the box for both of my CF cards, rebooted, and they are still ticked! This is for both Win98SE, and Windows ME!

Thanks!
