The simtec IDE interface works fine. I have one in my machine here with a
CDROM and ZIP drive attached.
Which kernel are you using ? Is this a 1.2 variation, a 1.3_ALPHA or a 1.3
release kernel ? There was a problem with some of the older 1.2 kernels
where the driver would report a cable fault though this has been fixed.

You say it recognises the card is installed. Does it recognise and report
the IDE drives attached ?
