According to www.ata-atapi.com,
ATA and ATAPI are the real names for the mass storage device interface
that is frequently called IDE and EIDE. IDE and EIDE are mostly used by
marketing people who do not know what they are selling and by writers
for magazines who do not know what they are writing about.
So, I would suspect that the advertisment you are looking at is either a
misprint or they are using a scsi-ide converter of some kind.
