I've been using a computer with an IDE drive in it for several months now,
and I have yet to have any complaints.  The drive that I am using is a
Seagate ST-157A which is about a 45Meg hard disk.  My computer had the
interface built right into the motherboard, and the single interface cable
makes installation considerably easier.

What I would like to see are some specs comparing the interface speeds between
IDE, SCSI, ESDI, and standard Western Digital.
