In win 98 DMA is located in device manager under your hard drive.
In win2k DMA is located in device manager udner your IDE controller.


Look at a floppy cable? See how the wires are big and fat? If an IDE cable has the same size wires, it is ATA33. If it has much thiner and more wires, it is ATA66/100
