[rescue] Macs & IDE vs. SCSI

[Lionel Peterson]

Why is it that an external IDE drive, hanging off a firewire to IDE
converter/interface is better than an IDE drive running natively?

The IDE drive can only run as fast as it's IDE interface, so I guess
what you are saying is that IDE is fine, but the actual IDE chipset on
your MoBo is slow...
