I went shopping for a CD-ROM drive this weekend, and nearly all the drives I saw said they "Support Windows (various versions) and OS/2)". I always thought an IDE device was an IDE device was an IDE device, but this makes me wonder if these drives are some sort of software-dependent devvices like win-modems.
On a related topic, I've seen a brand-name IDE hard drive (Winchester IIRC, or maybe Conner? or maybe something else- I don't remember now) listed similarly, which made me think it was a "win-drive". Can anyone enlighten me on the state of this issue? Thanks!
