I have to disagree with the ATAPI/IDE statement...
I am a self-employed PC technician and have almost exclusively used an ATAPI
CD chained behind an IDE HD, and so far..( in excess off 100 systems) _NEVER_
a problem.  I have at this moment an IDE chained behind an ATAPI on one of my
home systems.  Everything works perfectly. :)
