Here's one a bit earlier: Jan 31, 1989, for a CompuAdd 286 machine with
on-board IDE interface:

https://books.google.com/books?id=pMnJ2MkrjNgC&pg=PA161&dq=Built-in+IDE+interface&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiYnpG0yNPWAhVSy2MKHXdMA4kQ6AEIXTAI#v=onepage&q=Built-in%20IDE%20interface&f=true

Which means that the ad copy was probably developed during 1988.

I'm trying to determine the date of the first IDE card.   It'd have to
be much earlier than the CompuAdd board, as I remember the initial ones
only had a single cable for 2 drives--no secondary interface.
