This will interest some of you BX and LX chipset owners out there. To my
understanding, this will work ONLY on ABIT mainboards. This is a simple cut
and paste job that I have not had total time to check out, dont kill messenger
as always, broken links, etc.........
Also, if this works as good as ABIT claims it does ( have not implemented this
yet ), this is gonna freakin rock. Three premature cheers for ABIT.
ABIT Introduces HighPoint? Technology to Mainboards
Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. December 10, 1998-ABIT will begin implementing HighPoint
Technologys XStore Pro? and CD Xpress? in all of our motherboard packages
starting at the beginning of 1999. XStore Pro is a new Bus Master Driver and
MMX Accelerator for Storage. If you hate to wait then XStore is for you. The
XStore Pro is a hard disk enhancement utility which can improve the system
performance. The basic concept is using read-ahead caching algorithm to improve
the hard disk performance. It offers Performance, Compatibility, and Support.
By getting rid of the Bus Master Driver you have now XStore offers better
performance than Microsoft's default driver along with these additional
features:
Supports and Automatically configures to the Highest Ultra DMA performance
mode.
Supports and Automatically configures to the Highest Multiple-Word DMA
performance mode.
Automatically recognizes and supports DVD-ROM
Automatically recognizes and supports the Latest Intel Chipsets (TX, LX, BX)
XStore's enhanced performance speed removes the burden from the CPU. Since
intervention of the CPU is no longer necessary, data pathways are freed
allowing the CPU more time to focus on processing other requests like MMX and
AGP.

Chaintech are also offering the same thing - I use it and it works great.
What is the name of the file at the ftp site?
TIA
It's in drivers/ide/abit120.exe
