The worst problem with IDE is it's limitation on cable length. The
standard limits the length of cabeling for good physical reasons and
cables conforming to these limits are a really hard limit in many
cases. Dunno if those limits changed again for Ultra. Whatever, there
was a reason why they had to add CRC (ECC?) to the transfer protocol.
