It should be either ATA133/100/66/33 or UDMA-6/5/4/2 AFAIK... IDE's a
bit of a silly term because SCSI and SATA drives have Integrated
Drive Electronics too... That said I don't think the terminology
really matters so long as you know what it means. My pet peeve is
when people call a computer case the 'CPU'...

Okay, to rephrase, "you can always tell computer users who began
and pretty
much stayed in Mac circles."
No technical person in the PC world says ATA, its IDE. And the
transfer
speed is always refered to as UDMA66 etc, never ATA66. UDMA (Ultra
Direct
Memory Access) is the name of the technology, not the type of disk
connection scheme. Just as CHS and LBA are too. I believe ATA
refers to the
"standard" and not the actual implementation.
