Kind of you to celebrate my sanity. :-) Specifically, I was salaried in 1994..1999 mostly to write device firmware: SCSI/ PPT/ ATAPI/ USB/ FireWire/ etc. But often for test & once to ship I wrote the host-side of the cable too, most recently x86 PATA UDMA. Also I helped write the usb.org USB/ATAPI bridge spec, so I find serial/ parallel conversion familiar. And always my employer mass-produced one basic drive and then added bridges to support other kinds of cabling, so bridging to PATA ATAPI was my whole world in 1997..1999.
