Yes, they do - check out Plextor for one, most others make them.   I buy

can't be expected to know about them.  The only reason they IDE is they've 
seen it on enough boxes for it to sink into their little brains.  If you 
want to find real equipment you won't find it at these places - or if you 
do no one will know what it is.
