Nope, I don't think IDE matters as far as the MacOS is concerned.
(Performa 630's and PowerBook 5300's both use IDE/ATA-fast drives.)  I
think the work here will be to create the necessary hooks for programs to
access a partition from Executor.  For instance, I ran APS Formatter, and
(obviously) it refused to work because there was no recognizable drive
found.  Same problem with Disk Doctor BTW.
