- Nope, I don't think IDE matters as far as the MacOS is concerned.
- (Performa 630's and PowerBook 5300's both use IDE/ATA-fast drives.) I
- think the work here will be to create the necessary hooks for programs to
- access a partition from Executor. For instance, I ran APS Formatter, and
- (obviously) it refused to work because there was no recognizable drive
- found. Same problem with Disk Doctor BTW.
