Before the G3, most Macs used SCSI internally, with the exception of a few
Performa models and low-end Power Mac models (this is because SCSI is the
superior interface over IDE). Power Macintosh 6400 and 6500 and their
related Performa counterparts had IDE instead of SCSI internally.

All Power Mac G3 and later models use IDE drives internally, but they also
have an internal SCSI chain as well as an external SCSI chain.
