Disabling the drive entry in the BIOS setting should be sufficient.
You could even stick an IDE drive on the controller then, but don't
have it recognized by BIOS or DOS -- perhaps to put some less time-
critical data on it.
If there's no drive attached to the IDE controller, the `controller'
itself should not be detected at all. It's simply a bus buffer in
this case, that doesn't respond itself to any IO address.
