I call anything in the UX 11 series "recent" - perhaps because I still run 11.11 at home too... fascinating, though. IDE, and SCSI as an option; on C8000 the SCSI is default, so they differ more than I realised. Very, very odd. Guess 11i does support IDE disks after all :-) I've never come across a zx2000 with IDE disks, always SCSI. In that case it may have to do with the IDE chipset indeed... forget what I said.
