I am asking for the speed of the ATA interface. Not the RPM's of the

different Ultra ATA speeds and not all will work in this Mac.
Actually, all should work in the iMac. The ATA spec is backwards
compatible, so a faster controller can use slower drives and faster
drives can be connected to a slower controller.
That said, I *think* the slot load iMacs are ATA/100, but I can't find
anything to validate my memory. They *might* be ATA/66. I'm fairly sure
they are not ATA/33 or ATA/133.
I'm using ATA/133 in my 400mhz and have used ATA/100 also. Both appear
to work fine.
