cool old stuff accumulated by the previous sysadmin. There's a big
carton full of PATA hard disks. Most of them are in the 4.3 GB - 20 GB
range, a few larger, a few smaller.

those are the ibm server ones right?
No. PATA means parallel ATA, that is, EIDE. It covered all EIDE
versions, original 40-wire 16 MB/s and the later 80-wire 33, 66, 100,
& 133 MB/sec standards.
In theory it also embraces pre-*E* IDE, that is, IDE, the old
sub-540MB non-LBA IDE drives.
