http://www.acronymfinder.com/ has a lot of acronyms listed. Check there
and you will find out what PATA and SATA mean.

SCSI-1 was just SCSI until SCSI-2 came out. So ATA had to be called
something different to differentiate it from its serial version.

so with 1 PATA controller on a board i could use it for two CD-ROM drives
and then use the SATA on the board as the hard drives
