an ide cable has 40 pins, a scsi cable has 50 pins, so as long as the connector properly fits the drives and the board things aren't switched around. i think if you connect a scsi drive to an ata card or vice versa that you are likely to short some power pins and cause problems, but i haven't tried it (though i do have some small drives i could afford to let the smoke out of).
