Re: [Staffslug] Installing onto a SATA drive?

Another thought on this. While browsing the various SATA daughter cards I have found some cards that simply plug into a standard IDE or PATA slot but then enable a SATA drive to be plugged into the card. Apparently this enables the motherboard (BIOS) to see the drive as if it is a normal (read old fashioned) PATA drive. So, the question is, are they any good? They are similar to the cards that plug into an IDE socket and enable a Compact Flash card to be slotted in and used as a bootable device. Did I mention the fact that they are temptingly cheap.... :) -- ============================================== Kevan Linux user #373362 Staffordshire ********************************************** www.freeworld-recycling.org 'Just Free it.' **********************************************
