If you're really interested in IDE (ATA, ATA-2, ATA-3, ATA4, ATAPI) go to
ftp.fission.wdc.com/pub/standards

This is the home for the X3T Technical group which is in charge of the
standards.  The formal standard has to be bought from ANSI and is around
$85.00, however the X3T people archive their working copies of their latest
standards.

If you want a quick and dirty method to find the output of the standard IDE
connector download the reference designs for the 80386EX designs from
Intel's embedded development site, and download the datasheet on the Radisys
R-380 chip from Radisys.

These three items will give you a schematic, pin-description, and header
pin-out of the IDE port.

Lest you're wondering I'm currently working on a project which needs to
embed and EIDE controller onto an ELAN SC310 microcontroller board, and as
such had to figure this out.
