pata deserves to be laid to rest and the only issue keeping it alive seems to be the optical drives. i think it's the last 5v legacy interface since most other things have moved to usb. 5v interfaces are very difficult as you move to smaller silicon geometries.

the optical drive folk seem be be intent on figuring out how to take the last penny out of manufacturing on their now very mature dvd r/w drives rather than investing in new interfaces.

i think they're all waiting for some clarity on the hd optical drive conflict before doing their next round of drives which will likely be the ones to have sata.

unfortunately i don't think they're going to get any clarity anytime soon, if ever...
