The IDE to SCSI converter is a small board inside the "cartridge" 
(or "case") that forms the removable hard drive.   If you remove a hard
drive, and then open its case up, you'll see the converter board clearly.

It is indeed highly similar to the Acard SCSIIDE product (although possibly
from a different vendor).  

BTW, I would not expect either disk to show up as IDE at all.
