ATAPI
The IDE/ATAPI is a data interface that often is provided by PC manufacturers and, is generally included when you purchase a new computer. Usually, the computer motherboard comes with a primary and a secondary IDE bus. Up to two IDE/ATAPI devices, a master and a slave, can be connected to each bus. Because this interface is less sophisticated than the SCSI one, ATAPI devices are usually more affordable. Note, however, that often IDE/ATAPI devices are slower and, particularly in case of CD-Readers, less accurate. If you are considering using DiscJuggler with multiple recorders, SCSI is the preferred bus.

AT Attachment
Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) is a standard interface for connecting storage devices such as hard disks and CD-ROM drives inside personal computers.
The standard is maintained by X3/INCITS committee T13. Many synonyms and near-synonyms for ATA exist, including abbreviations such as IDE and ATAPI. Also, with the market introduction of Serial ATA in 2003, the original ATA was retroactively renamed Parallel ATA (PATA).
In line with the original naming, this article covers only Parallel ATA.
