List them, please. I've found only two flavors of

thats it. Best I've seen is it was spec'd in but almost never implmented.
8 Bit was part of ATA-1 and ATA-2 and dropped from ATA-3 (see
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.95/95-310r0.pdf).
AFAIK, only the very old (and the XTA drives) such as the very early
Prarietek (2.5"), Conner 3.5" and CDC 5.25" drives supported the 8 bit
mode. But it was there for a time. I'll do some digging and see if I can
turn up the list.
