I don't think so.  I don't know about the classic, but the Plus comes
with two PCMCIA-ports.  In theory, I believe, it should be possible to
wire an IDE-Drive to one of theses ports, but it might draw too much
power, and it certainly wont fit into the shell.  Although, It's a
fair assumption that the Poqet would not support drives > 512MB
anyway.

That said, the Poqet can read many (but not all) CF-cards, using an CF
to PCMCIA adaptor, so that might be a better option (an certainly a
simpler an cheaper way to find out if disks > 512 MB are
supported...).
