    • High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: The CUBX-L motherboard supports UltraDMA/33 and can handle data transfer rates up to 33MB/s. The CUBX-E motherboard supports UltraDMA/100, which increases the data transfer rate to 100MB/s. UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/33, and DMA and with existing DMA devices and systems so there is no need to up- grade current EIDE/IDE drives and host systems.
