That isn't strictly the case.  When the first three letters of the part
numbers are the same, the drive mechanism is the same.  There are actually
very few drives which share the same mechanics between IDE and SCSI in
IBM's lineup.  There is much more sharing between SCSI <-> FC-AL <-> SSA.
There is very little between these three and IDE.

Peace...  Sridhar
