PIO Mode 5: Refer to ATA via its proper name consistently instead of calling it "IDE" in a few places

A PIO Mode 5 was proposed<ref name="ATA Timing Extension For ATA-3">{{cite web |url=https://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.95/95-122r0.pdf |title=Proposed 22 MByte/Sec ATA Timing Extension for ATA-3 |first=Joseph |last=Chen |date=January 10, 1995 |publisher=Technical Committee T10 (X3T10) |work=T10.org |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100620052300/https://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.95/95-122r0.pdf |archive-date=June 20, 2010 |url-status=live |access-date=February 19, 2020}}</ref> with operation at 22&nbsp;MB/s, but was never implemented on hard disks because CPUs of the time would have been crippled waiting for the hard disk at the proposed PIO 5 timings, and the [[Direct memory access|DMA]] standard ultimately obviated it. While no [[hard disk drive]] was ever manufactured to support this mode, some [[motherboard]] manufacturers preemptively provided [[BIOS]] support for it. PIO Mode 5 can be used with CompactFlash cards connected to IDEATA via CF-to-IDEATA adapters.
