Thanks, don't have time to read it over at the moment
though. Can we say then that Compaq's IDE controller
was the earliest *IDE* card that could drive a modern
(or somewhat modern) IDE device? CD/DVD drives, hard
drives, etc.?

And yeah, I think the earliest machine I ever saw
with
an IDE drive was a Compaq Deskpro 286. There was
a
flavor of IDE for XT class machnes too - the drives
aren't really compatible with AT class IDE,
however.
