Meritline has the IDE to SATA or SATA to IDE Adapter for $4 with free shipping. Compliant with serial ATA specification, One 4pin power connector, converts sevial ATA to paraller ATA.
I bought one of these, hooked my PATA DVD burner to my new SATA Mobo and it didn't work. I ended up buying a SATA drive and put the PATA in a portable case.
The Meritline site has the same error "paraller" -- proof positive that there is no "Ben" -- just a robot that can't spell.
