IDE Basics
IDE is an acronym for Integrated Device (Drive) Electronics and is sometimes referred
to as an ATA (AT Attachment) interface. It is the most commonly used interface for
hard disk drives installed on personal computers. Other devices like CD-ROM, tape,
optical drives, and so on have adapted a variation called ATAPI (ATA Packet Inter-
face) and can be intermixed with standard IDE drives because they use the same
cabling and electrical interface.
Most systems today have two IDE channel connectors that are typically referred to as
primary and secondary ports. Each IDE port can have a maximum of two devices that
must be uniquely identified, typically by the setting of a jumper as a ‘master’ or ‘slave’
device.
