Problem

Solutions: Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE): IDE is a hard disk drive standard interface for microcomputers. It appeared in 1989 as a low-cost answer to two other standard hard disk interfaces, ESDI and SCSI. The distinguishing feature of the IDE interface is that it incorporates the drive controller functions right on the drive. Instead of connecting to a controller card, an IDE drive attaches directly to the motherboard. IDE drives offer a data transfer rate similar to the RLL ST506 type of drives, or about 7.5 megabits per second.
