They are IDE. But an "8 bit" version of IDE which has 16 data lines.If you go through the archives of the newsgroup there was a detailed description of what the Vulcans were in the last 6 months. Apparently later (true 16 bit) drives) won't work in the Vulcan. Don't know how true it is though.
Actually, 8 bit IDE was developed AFTER 16 bit ide. It was done to make IDE easier to implement on 8088/8086 8 bit bus PC's.
ALL of the 8 bit drive I have ever seen in the PC world were western digital (or Tandon before WD bought them). WD even made one 40 meg that was switchable via jumpers between 8 and 16 bit modes.
