Re: TDM 6.4 With EIDE SATA?
I'm running one TDM system (6.2.2) to a firewire drive...so I believe it all depends on what your actual machine is setup to handle. Haven't tried SATA, as I don't believe SATA was a popular (or even available?) platform when 6 was first released.
Disclaimer - all speculative...All I know as fact is that Firewire 400 and 800 work on Mac G4s and are rock solid.

Re: TDM 6.4 With EIDE SATA?
SCSI was only a requirement for the disk i/o(pro tools iii) systems. The d24 and mix systems will run a session from any drive, they are just recommended to use SCSI because that was the fastest and most reliable drive at the time. But things have changed a lot in the last 15 years. Depending on your computer, you should be fine with a dedicated IDE drive for audio. I haven't personally tried SATA, but I've heard it works, though there may be some SATA PCI cards that are better than others...
