Is there a way, via an ioctl call, or something to identify what
specific IDE hard disk or other IDE device is hooked up to the IDE
controller?
I'm really hoping to be able to determine something like "/dev/hda is
a Maxtor 96147H6".

HDIO_GET_IDENTITY is the ioctl you seek.
Grab the hdparm source for an example of how to use this and other
IDE related ioctls.

Dave.
