Well, not quite. libata is treated as scsi and most sata drivers now
use libata. Most PATA drivers are available as libata too in the recent
2.6 kernels. Basicaly in the future all harddrives will appear as scsi
style disks. 2.4 had a number of SATA drivers that made /dev/hd*
devices, but they quickly got replaced by libata which was a much better
solution.
