Those "special" drives are not what I meant
to ask about. I want to know
more about the 8-bit mode described in the ATA Interface Specification as
published in 1994 and 1996. This is apparently a "standard" feature.
It was a proposed feature. Not used that I know of and later deleted from
the spec. I've never found a drive that it works on, wish it did though.
