I recently received a 386/25 from CompuAdd corp. One of the features of this high-end machine is an "IDE" (Integrated Drive Electronics) connector built onto the motherboard. According to the manual, there exist hard drives with controllers built into them which can make use of this special connector. My question: I've heard of ESDI drives and SCSI drives and STxxx drives, but never an IDE drive. Do such things really exist? Who makes them? Are there any advantages to using an IDE drive over a standard STxxx drive like most other AT class machines use? signed, Curiouser and curiouser
