Floppy and Hard disc questions....

I have just gotten an old GRiDCase 1530 running and now I need to rig some
things.

First the harddisc:

1) The manual says that it uses an IBM AT compatible harddisc. What's the
difference between an IBM AT style harddisc and an IDE? Is there anyway to
rig an adapter?

2) There's a floppy expansion plug on the back but I do not know the
signals needed for a generic floppy. Is there a web page with the pinouts,
signal directions and a signal description?


Thanks,

Arfon
