Probably means _MODE_ 3 or 4 PIO. They're quite fast with a suitable EIDE
controller which supports these modes. If you want to know more, there's a
good FAQ called YA-ATA.FAQ. Not quite sure where 'cos someone e-mailed it
to me. If you're stuck I have a copy in my archives so I could always e-mail
it (about 64k in its native form, ISTR).
BTW, anyone called Greg must be OK (g).
