i've been using a turboIDE for almost three years now with no troubles.
i just bought a hard drive fom a pc dealer, plugged stuff together and
it works. simple. 
the only 'problem' i've seen with the card is ninja force's mega demo.
it would not run with the tide in the system.

in my system, the tide, a 9/64 zipgs, a blue disk and a second sight card
all work _very_ happily together. no scsi voodoo blues.
