No, I haven't heard of any 8-bit IDE models since
the very ancient Seagate
ST___X drives. But I gotta ask, why even bother looking for them, when
I happen to have a few WD and ST series ones but they are native ide-8
and no bit change for 16bit. 8bit IDE is true oddball and I really doubt
there
was much in the way of adpotion.
doing 8bit conversion takes a bit of logic and the direct 8bit IDE looks
appealing until you try to use them... They didn't standardize! I gave up
on them.
