Fraid not, two different critters entirely. The MFM is dumb, and needs
the smart card. The IDE moves all that into the drive, but was designed
for winderz, so it still takes a bit of finagling to make 256 byte
sectors work on a coco, since ALL the IDE's are 512 bytes per sector
devices.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
