http://book.cakephp.org/view/1057/Model-Attributes is a good place to start.
you can configure in most circumstances cake to talk to any old database - you just end up losing some of the magic and writing more code as a result. for a model which does not comply with the convention you will at least need to: 1) define the table name ($useTable) 2) define the primary key ($primaryKey) 3) define the display name ($displayName) you'll also need to provide more verbose settings in the model associations in order to get them to play nice...
