Do you want to fry one or both? They are *NOT* compatible, keep IDE cable for IDE
controler to IDE 
devices and SCSI cables SCSI controler to SCSI devices. Also, *DON'T* ever try to
connect SCSI in a 
parallel interface, even if the plug does fit!!! You don't want that strange smoke and
acrid smell 
of burnt electronic.
IDE is a standers and SCSI is another different and incompatible one.
