The new thing in SCSI is Serial Attached SCSI. It's basically SCSI over SATA cables, probably just making it ATAPI.I doubt SCSI will be abandoned, it'll just move to yet another new connector.

"IDE" drives havent been produced for many many years. EIDE which came after started in 1996. this article really should state "Parallel ATA".heres a timeline of the ATA standards: <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Technology_Attachment#ATA_standards_versions.2C_transfer_rates.2C_and_features">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Technology_Attachment#ATA_standards_versions.2C_transfer_rates.2C_and_features</a>

Yeah, but what's SATA other than PATA ("IDE") with a shift-register on either end?
