        Remember, 10 years ago was 1995...  This was the start of Windows 95
and IE.  I am not 100% certain, but I think that x86 with IDE was the most
popular platform of the time.  ATAPI had already been introduced, and there
were a whole host of issues regarding CHS and LBA.

Ten years ago, the majority of the computers on the Internet were not 
Windows PCs with IDE hard drives :)
