Wouldn't this be impossible per the connectors?

In 1996 a friend who bought a lot of used equipment gave me a Seagate
drive he thought I could use .  but he didn't know it's protocol.
I compared it to SCSI drives I had then and the connectors looked
identical. Pin count and all. When I looked it up on Blue Planet
the number was associated with an IDE drive.  This waa old equipment.
And the only IDE machine I have is a Performa 630CD I got
in 2000. It's been a long time since I looked inside it . I am no
expert on IDE and don't pretend to be.
Just relating my experience.
And I read in a long past volume of "Repairing and Upgrading PCs " by
Que publishing that SCSI and IDE drives were at the time identical
save for circuitry.
