Macs have had PCI since the introduction of the Power Macintosh back in the early-mid 90's. IDE was introced in low-end power macs, and developments in IDE technology made it fast enough to be the main drive on G3 systems. Current ATA/66 drives can put a whoopin' on most SCSI drives; only ultra-wide drives can beat its transfer rates.
