[Ham-Computers] Adding an IDE hard drive to a SATA system

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Dave,

The newer system boards (as I discovered last month) mostly no longer have 
two IDE connectors but most still have one for CD or DVD drives.  Check the 
owners manual and look for any instructions for installing a CD/DVD drive.  That 
should tell you where the connector is located.
