PATA

From: Ed King

I was wondering...      now that SATA drives are 20 years old...    are
there any young 'uns on the list who have never dealt with PATA drives?

Just curious.     And feeling old.

Oh I am sure there are plenty of people out there to make us old ;)

How about mfm drives :)

Thanks,

I'm sure I have some PATA/IDE drives in a box somewhere. I suspect I've got
a couple of MFM drives still too.

Heck, I can remember backing up the 10MB appletalk connected hard drive to
VHS tape back in the day.

for any of us who still tinker with the "mfm" drives, I highly recommend...

Its been a very useful tool to capture drive images...    before its too
late...
