What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer rates from ISDN (dual channel), a telecommunication service-level rate, to IDE (DMA mode 1), a legacy computer storage transfer mode. It helps users compare throughput capabilities across distinct data transfer technologies.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ISDN (dual channel) to convert
-
Select IDE (DMA mode 1) as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent data transfer rate

-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
-
Provides clear examples for practical understanding
Examples
-
5 ISDN (dual channel) converts to 0.0060150375 IDE (DMA mode 1)
-
10 ISDN (dual channel) converts to 0.012030075 IDE (DMA mode 1)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing data transfer rates between ISDN services and IDE DMA modes
-
Analyzing performance in telecommunications and legacy computer hardware
-
Configuring or troubleshooting IDE DMA transfer settings
-
Assessing throughput for remote LAN access using ISDN and IDE devices
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct input units to get accurate relative conversion results
-
Use the conversion to better understand data throughput differences
-
Consider hardware and line conditions when interpreting speeds
-
Apply conversions when analyzing or tuning legacy system performance
Limitations
-
Conversion is between descriptive data transfer modes, not standardized SI units
-
Numeric equivalence indicates relative speed but not direct unit interchangeability
-
IDE (DMA mode 1) speeds may vary with hardware implementations
-
ISDN (dual channel) rates can fluctuate due to line quality and conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ISDN (dual channel) mean in data transfer?
-
ISDN (dual channel) uses both 64 kbit/s B channels of an ISDN Basic Rate Interface together, providing about 128 kbit/s data throughput as a service-level configuration.
-
What is IDE (DMA mode 1)?
-
IDE (DMA mode 1) is a defined Direct Memory Access mode for IDE/ATA devices allowing moderate-speed data transfer with minimal CPU involvement under specific timing rules.
-
Can I directly interchange ISDN (dual channel) and IDE (DMA mode 1) units?
-
No, the units represent different contexts and technology types; conversion shows relative speeds but not direct interchangeable units.
Key Terminology
-
ISDN (dual channel)
-
A telecommunication data transfer rate using both 64 kbit/s B channels of an ISDN Basic Rate Interface combined to yield about 128 kbit/s throughput.
-
IDE (DMA mode 1)
-
A Direct Memory Access transfer mode for IDE/ATA devices allowing moderate-speed data movement with minimal CPU load under defined timing rules.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The numeric factor used to translate data transfer values from ISDN (dual channel) to IDE (DMA mode 1): 1 ISDN (dual channel) equals 0.0012030075 IDE (DMA mode 1).
