Hmmm, I just looked at Profiler and it says 9.2 is on ATA HD, I
thought my
mac guru friend called it an IDE HD, can they be one in the same?
ATA is the generic term for - AT Attachment (ATA) storage interface.
Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard disks have been around for
quite a few years. Prior to these drives, hard disks were interfaced
to a PC motherboard via an expansion board known as a hard disk
controller. The drive did most of the mechanical stuff and performed
basic electronic/servo functions; the controller told it in detail what
to do. The development of the IDE hard moved most of the electronics
and firmware (low-level software on a chip) from the controller to a
printed circuit board on the drive itself.
