    Yes, but with two more caveats. It should be on the end 
connector of the IDE ribbon, and attention must be paid to 
getting the pin1 orientation correct (the red stripe side of the 
cable).

    Actually it's not ide2, but that's a common usage. The ports 
are more correctly termed as ide0 (1st) and ide1 (2nd).
