To the person who on this website page?, if you are trying to use a ide hard drive from a pc computer, you just need to look at where pin 1 is at and just work it out for any amiga computer. Then you got your self a big start. But if you are going to try to use a ide hard drive you will need to try to reformat to use on the amiga computer. Some pc drive is in the center of the disk, the amiga hard drive is on the out side or in the center of the disk.
