I can do this from the VSphere UI, but New-HardDisk only support iSCSI
You will have to use the API methods, have a look at Re: How to create an IDE hard disk instead of SCSI?

Hello. Thank you for the information. Will this work if you want to use an existing vmdk?
Was that vmdk created as an IDE disk?
Yes it was. I may have found what I'm after in the device.backing configuration property?
Point to the existing harddisk in $dev.Device.Backing.FileName
