ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 has the JMicron JMB368 controller :
1 x UltraDMA 133/100/66 for up to 2 PATA devices , navy blue

JMicron JMB36X Controller Driver is found in downloads in the UTILITIES section.

If your not booting from the IDE controller you can disable the IDE option ROM in the BIOS.

You also need to know how to set master/slave jumpers and the different positions on the IDE cable.

I don't believe Asus makes a Asus M4A87TD-M USB3 model. You should check the model number again if you don't know what motherboard you have.

M5A78L-M/USB3 Storage
Built-in Controller :
6 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s), blue
Support Raid 0, 1, 10, JBOD

The motherboard also has a one internal parallel port connector. That is a LPT connector (26-1 pin LPT). The LPT (Line Printer Terminal) connector supports devices such as a printer.

There is no IDE connector on the M5A78L-M/USB3.

Clear the CMOS and Load Setup Defaults from the BIOS exit menu.
(page 1-16 and 2-30 of downloadable manual)

If it still doesn't work, it may have had the BIOS flashed to different motherboard which could trick the motherboard into thinking it is a different model.
