I have been offered a pretty good price on a IDE drive and want to know how
it connects to the computer.  The saleman told me that it simply connected
to the motherboard???

I currently have a DTK motherboard (386) with an MFM type disc controller.
The motherboard was made about 1989 if this make any difference.
