IDE is a 'native IBM PC(lone) interface', having most of the controller/host
adapter functions on the motherboard of those machines.

It is not easily adapted to SCSI opreration, if at all.  It is a completely
different interface.  The only way to connect one of these, that I know of, is
with the GVP '030 board, or an A590, both of which have an IDE interface.
