i don't think so.  these are the last set of ata8 docs i downloaded
from incits.  there's no parallel spec at all.  it's been dropped

	aam	architecture model
	ast	serial transport
	acs	ata command set

i don't see any room here for conflating ide with ata.

there's a seperate set of docs detailing sata from sata-io.

just because it once was, so it shall always be?  somehow
i think the world has moved on.
