You will need a driver for it. Look up IDEfix on Aminet, it's all you need for software.

but . . . you should have an Installer already!

Try to locate it in SYS:Utilities/ and copy it in C:

or download this

ftp://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha

and copy the executable "Installer" from the archive to C:
