Are ATA and IDE interchangeable terms? by Doc
I'm looking into getting a faster, bigger hard drive. The drives on the shelf at the local computer stores all list ATA/100 or ATA/133. I see articles on the net on IDE/ATA vs SCSI. So, is ATA the same as IDE? If not, what's the relationship? I'm running an IBM 300PL 550mhz PIII, Win98 first...
