[Coco] Glenside IDE update

[Kip Koon]

For my setup, I could put in a switch somewhere on the PCB and label it IDE
No power and CF Power SW.  There seems to be space.  Brian, is this just a 2
layer PCB and not a 4-layer one?  I don't what to disturb any hidden traces
if there are any.  Until I find the right switch though, I'll just run the
jumper from +5v to pin 20 and use my CF adapter only.  Thank you for ya'll's
input.  Take care my friends.
Kip

The pin 20 is N/C on IDE (most cables don't even have it) but is used as
power in those CF adapters as they drain little power.

For a mechanical drive you will probably need a PSU.
