Enhanced IDE Interface

In the Power Mac G4, the KeyLargo IC provides an enhanced IDE (EIDE) interface. The EIDE interface supports the removable media drives mounted behind the front panel: the optical drive and an optional Iomega 250 MB Zip drive.

For information about specific drives, see Removable-Media Drives.

The KeyLargo IC provides DB-DMA (descriptor-based direct memory access) support for the EIDE interface.
