Back in the olden times the Linux kernel had a dedicated parallel-ATA subsystem with /dev/hda devices. It was then rolled up in to the scsi subsystem to simplify maintaining drivers (everything using the same library for disk access). I'm old :(
Raises a glass in Debian 3.0
And who could forget /dev/fd0 for floppies
Having both IDE and SATA together was awesome. "Sooo which one is which?". Good times.
