[Ham-Computers] Too stupid to own a PC

[Dave 'Doc' Corio]

    Think I know the answer to this already, but here goes.

    Have a Gateway PC that I thought I could add a second SATA hard 
drive to. That is, until I actually GOT the second drive and realized 
that while I had the necessary power connections, I seem to be lacking 
the required DATA connection! I'm used to IDE drives, with dual 
connectors for the drives! Now what I have is a data cable going from 
the motherboard directly to the master hard drive. No dual connectors. 
No second drive.

    What options, if any, do I have? I see plenty of PCI SATA controller 
cards available, but I have no more PCI slots open in this PC. There is 
a small connector I've never seen before that is available for a plug-in 
card, but it is much smaller than a PCI slot, and it's definitely not 
the for the AGP video card.
   
    Yes, I know I should have checked more carefully. I've learned my 
lesson and it will never, never happen again. But for now I need a bit 
of help to be able to add this drive to my PC.

    Ideas? Suggestions? Anything at all other than being sent to the 
home for the terminally technologically impaired?

Tnx es 73
