Ide,ata,atapi,e-ide ????????????

Let's try this again. earlier posting was to general i suppose.I am looking for a new mainboard. Pentium D, intel 930 cpu. looking at gigabyte,intel,asus, 975 0r 955 chipset. it will be sata hard drives at raid 0. the gigabyte has pata 2x ata 100, intel 1x ata 100, asus 2x ata 100. it is here where my confusion lies. can i connect my three atapi,eide devices to these connections which i think gigabyte said they were for the hard drive only.
From what i have been reading IDE & ATA are basically the same thing so pretty much anthing, that has an ata standard will work with any I/O controller as long as they both support the performance level. with that said the lower performance level of a DVD Rom, burner ,etc. should work on those connection. Yes/No ? Very Confusing Help!!!
