Hey guys,
I have a tool I’m looking for an IDE HDD to replace the dead one.
Is PATA something special or is that just your standard IDE HDD protocol?

PATA and IDE are for all intents the same, and can be used in verbage interchangeably. These days, your best bet to find good working condition IDE/PATA drives would probably be eBay.
What size drive?
5"
Thank you for the responses.
I think 3.5” 250gb but I’m flexible on that.
I have some 80-250gb IDE drives from retired computers at work. Would just need to data wipe one first before I can offer it up. Probably can have it securely wiped by Tuesday afternoon.
I’d gladly take them.
