Hey, make certain you upgrade your bios before attempting this; I've an IBM
300PL (6862-27U) that will only accept up to an 8GB drive.

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 edition. Would one
of these ATA drives work? What does the 133/100 refer to?

All input appreciated.
