If you mean run in SFF-compatible mode like the 3112, you can't. The
3124 is a pure FIS-based SATA controller and doesn't support a legacy
SFF-style interface. If you're trying to make an IDE driver for the 3124
I think you will have a lot of trouble, the IDE code was not really
designed to handle such a device.
