True. I'm just not too fond of IDE. ;)
Oh, IDE blows dog, there's no question about that amongst people who have
any technical clue whatsoever. But it IS easy to interface to...I've even
done it (as have many others) with a microcontroller and a few dozen lines of
code. Try doing that with (for example) SATA...one would be lucky to even
get the physical layer talking. There is *nothing* ATA-like about SATA
beyond the name.

People are strange. That says a lot coming from me, too...
