About IDE 1
IDE (Enhanced IDE/E-IDE) is one of the standards applied to the
connection between personal computers and their peripherals. A
computer motherboard provides two IDE connectors (primary and
secondary). (Although, some motherboards provide only a primary
connector.) You may connect up to two IDE devices (hard disk, CD-
ROM, or CD-R drives) to the connectors using an IDE cable. One of the
devices connected via the IDE cable is called “master” and the other
called “slave.”
