For PIO2+ actually, according to Intel's PRM (29860004.pdf), and it's said

when one issues Set Transfer Mode ATA command with the value (8 + PIOn), this
means select PIO _flow control_ mode n, so -IORDY is assumed to be in use.
PIO2 depends on the drive (there is a drive parameter telling you the
highest timing clock you can do with/without IORDY
Yes. But when you're setting any _explicit_ PIO mode with Set Features
command, you're tell the drive to use -IORDY at the same time.
I'm also not clear if the "no MWDMA0" list has been updated correctly
for the newer chipsets.
What is/was the point for keeping MW DMA 0 support anyway? On PIIX, it's
greatly slowed down (600 vs 480 ns cycle) and was never "offically" supported
by Intel.
Some old old drives only do MWDMA0. The Intel docs I have here don't
describe it in any way as "unsupported",
They just don't describe it, period. :-)
merely broken on some ICH variants.
ICH errata #55: "Note that DMA Mode-0 is an unsupported mode of the ICH."
