it'd be a fairly complicated schematic... The IDE interface is 16 bit
wide data, and a standard parallel port only has four bits of input.
An enhanced parallel port (EPP) can turn the data bits around, but
then you don't have any lines for RD*/WR*/A0-A2/CS1Fx*CS3Fx*, etc...

I certainly wouldn't want to do it, though I'm sure it can be done...
