->The rest of the IDE stuff shouldn't apply to SATA unless the standards
committees have done a real botched job of things.<-
I have one Seagate Barracuda SATA drive that is seen by the system BIOS
on the primary master IDE channel. I suspect different boards and BIOSs
will handle SATA differently - some will handle it as some kind of SCSI,
and some as some kind of IDE, but I could be wrong. I have used hdparm
on my SATA drive as though it were an IDE, but it didn't change much.
