Bus compatability
Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 13:44:20 -0500
Does anyone know how compatable SATA (Serial ATA) is with standard
IDE/ATAPI? I'm looking to get a DVD ROM burner and it seems that SATA seems
to be a new bus standard. The only info I found was that the protocol
between SATA and ATAPI are similar and that SATA is much faster than ATAPI.
TIA,
Chris
