CD-ROM and Hard Drive Interface

 

The internal hard drive uses intelligent device electronics 

(IDE) technology, commonly used in DOS-compatible 

systems. The IDE drive uses the standard advanced 

technology attachment (ATA) or IDE interface. The IDE hard 

drive functions the same as a typical SCSI hard drive. You 

must replace IDE drives like for like. The IDE drive does not 

affect SCSI ID selections or SCSI termination schemes. Seven 

external SCSI devices may be daisy-chained through the 

external SCSI port. 

The CD-ROM drive uses the advanced technology adapter 

peripheral interface (ATAPI), not SCSI. The ATA and ATAPI 

interface schemes could be incompatible with some disk 

utility programs.
