Actually, even the Amiga adopted IDE as it's
standard hard
disk interface before Apple did, as the Amiga 4000 (1992) came out
roughly two years ahead of the Performa 630 (1994). Tandy was using
the 8bit version of the IDE interface in it's SL/TL series machines
as early as 1989, though only 4 drives were ever manufactured that
were compatible with it.
The Commodore A590 controller (released in 1987?) also had an XT-IDE
controller on its PCB in addition to the SCSI interface. It was a cheap way
for C= to add small drives into the A590 case.
