  OK, now I'm really curious. I have had nothing but positive experiences
with (small) IDE drives, and I'm about to spend a lot of money on a larger one.
What do you all know about IDE? What Experiences have you had? rumours you
have heard? I think it's time to find out why this baby is so (apparently)
cheap, fast, and simple.
    Please please please somebody explain IDE drives... how do you low level
    format them, anyways? Disk manufacturers obviously can do it....

...I would appreciate any responses...
Craig
