Where is the DMA Checkbox for the drives on the Maxtor Ultra ATA 100 in Win 9x?

The DMA Checkbox that is referred to will not appear for any hard drive connected to the Ultra ATA 100. Since the card’s sole purpose is to provide your computer with an ATA/100 interface, the feature is automatically, and always, enabled. As long as the Maxtor Ultra ATA 100 BIOS detects the hard drive as "Mode 5", the ATA/100 timing will be used. You can check this by running a benchmark program on the hard drive.
