Summary: Grand Mom's IDE and SCSI?
Review: Because of the rapidly revised specification and tons of legacy issues, it's not easy for a book to cover the latest technologies as well as the former ones. This book isn't quite up to date especially in IDE. If you want to know what is UDMA or Tailgate, they are not in this book. For a beginner that is about to implement devices or program drivers, this book should be a good entry, but not enough. If you have already know how hard drives work, save your money and download the newest spec.

Summary: SCSI Based Reference only
Review: This book is mainly a reference for the SCSI Interested professional. It will not cover the IDE interface in as much detail as you would like. If you think you will be speaking specifically to a hard drive via code, you will have to memorize interrupt values, AND pay very close attention to the protocol information. This book isn't quite what you think,nor was it what i expected. Although an informative reference for basic SCSI devices, i'm still searching for one that will help me program for hard disks. Hope this was helpful.
