Unfortunately unlike SCSI where there's a more peer-like relationship between the initiator and targets, the host and device sides of IDE are different enough that I can't do that, at least with this hardware design. There are a couple projects starting up that will do what you're wanting, though...

I figured it would likely be a big firmware change to make it the host. Wasn't sure whether the hardware would be configured for it. I suspect I'll be getting a few at some point anyway 🙂
I've been tempted to make a device to do it myself lots of times, but I'm time poor right now.
