Detailed Description

Drivers for the Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) devices.

IDE is a keyword which refers to the electrical specification of the cables which connect ATA drives (like hard drives) to another device. The drives use the ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) interface. An IDE cable also can terminate at an IDE card connected to PCI. ATAPI is an extension to ATA (recently renamed to PATA) which adds support for the SCSI command set.
