The IDE standard may not have changed, but that doesn't mean that there
aren't IDE controllers which need updated drivers.

It's possible the controller adds some of it's own memory for caching,
for example. RAID is another example, although less likely on a laptop
(but not impossible, I have a laptop that supports three physical
drives)
