Actually, I don't think the original request was quite so clear about
what sort of drive he had - just that he had IDE in his machine. Since
the IDE drive is only available through OEMs, it is quite hard to obtain
except as an integral part of high-end systems, so it seems unlikely
that that's what he has.

Besides, there is no special driver required for the IDE version. It works
like any other IDE device (until you want the non-standard features, at
least).
