I just can't help think that we will see soon see hardware manufactuers add
a separate buffer and a separate BIOS to on-board EIDE controllers.
I wonder what they will call it then? SCSI? It is like the Win95
interface and the Apple interface. It only took 10 years to get Windows
to look like Apple.
Isn't the hardware merry-go-round fun?
