Oh great, I'll just buy some more then
- the ones I have used/seen didn't have a master slave switch or jumper though.
I'm not 100% clear on what you're after?
You have a IDE port on your motherboard and want to attach SATA drives to it, or you have a SATA port on your mobo and want to attach IDE drives to it?
I thought the SATA->IDE controllers only supported the IDE being the device side (eg. the hard disk) and wouldn't work plugged into a mobo?
I have a single IDE slot on the mainboard, and want to connect 2x SATA drives.
I wasn't aware the newer converters had master/slave switches, so as above 2 of those should do me fine.
You can get convertors for either way.
This is what your looking for.
