Introduction

IDE Tool is a tool for viewing and tuning the properties and settings of IDE drives, such as IDE hard drives and CDROMs. The hard drive properties which IDE Tool shows include the model, geometry, and cache. It allows you to control drive configuration such as whether it uses DMA and IRQ unmask.

IDE Tool is included in the gnome-utils package, which is part of the GNOME desktop environment. This document describes version 1.2 of IDE Tool.
