I finally used IDE on an Alpha for the first time this
last week on one of
my new XP1000's. It wasn't stellar, but as I was booting from CD-ROM, I
didn't expect much.
Thanks for reminding me - my Alpha DS10 was, according to the Alpha
Technologies course, designed to be an IDE machine out of the box despite
that every DS10 I've worked on ever had a Qlogic QLA1040 (or equivalent)
SCSI board in running 2 or 3 U2/U3 SCSI drives. Time to dig out a spare IDE
drive and see how different the speed is!
