Know your target
ISA IDE
- 16bit ISA controllers, common before 1995, that essentially connected IDE storage directly to the ISA bus
- Interface is slow enough that all storage built since 1995 connected to it will have similar performance
- Modern storage is very compatible with these adapters
- BIOS usually does not support drives larger than 528MB
Early EIDE
- Common between 1993-1996
- Mid to Late 486
- VLB without BIOS support
- BIOS usually does not support drives larger than 528MB
Improved EIDE
- Common between 1995-1997
- Pentium Socket 7 systems
Mature Pata IDE
- Supports
Sata IDE
Modern Storage for Retro Computers
SD to IDE Pros
- SD Cards are cheap
- Quick response on small reads and writes
CF (Compact Flash) Pata DOM (Disk on Module) Sata Drive mSata M2 Sata USB to IDE Sata SSD Sata DOM
Common Legacy Storage
Sata DOM
