ATAPI?

[gen_bean]

I've been looking at getting a new CDRW drive, but am a little confused about the standards. Is ATAPI and E-IDE the same thing? I've seen some CDRW drives say ATAPI/E-IDE and some just say ATAPI. Thanks for the help.

yes they are the same for all intents and purposes in your case

Errr not exactly, but its not something you should worry about. All optical drives are ATAPI, a subset of the E-IDE ATA internface.
