Disk On Chip (DOC) is NOT an IDE device such that will conform to ATA
specifications.
It hooks interrupt 13 and interfaces that way.

But I see no reason at all that you could not put a CF card in the jukebox
- on the DVD players I worked on it was literally that - an adaptor that
plugged the CF as the second device on a standard IDE cable ...#define
SUPPORT_TWO_DRIVES and you're away :)
