They work pretty well. Just search eBay for "SATA IDE" and I'm sure you'll find them. Then they look exactly like SATA drives. They make $10 IDE-SATA adapters for CD-ROMs and hard drives.

Even one PATA would be fine, as that could support two drives, ie a dvd burner and my 250 gig hd. Why should I have to spend another 20-50 on a ide controller or external enclosure? Heck they still have db-9 mouse and kb connectors, and serial ports... Just my 2 cents. Yes, but don’t you both think it is a little early to drop support for such drives?
