Re: Difference between IDE and SCSI ??

I can understand your confusion, because Fedora has begun labeling *all*
internal storage devices as "sd", as in "SCSI device", whether or not it
actually is on a SCSI or IDE chain.

Surely it is more than just labelling.
Fedora (and Linux generally, to a lesser extent)
now uses SCSI emulation to talk to IDE disks.

Incidentally, your posting was difficult to follow.
You seemed to be replying to yourself.
