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

[Dave 'Doc' Corio]

Thanks for all the responses!

Adding an IDE controller card is out, as I already filled the available 
slots. It's not an old drive - just not quite new. It's an 80G drive 
that was only used a few weeks.

As for looking at the instructions, they are sadly lacking on today's 
new machines. I do know that the cable to the hard drive in the new 
machine is a double, so another SATA drive could be added easily, and 
the CD-ROM drive also has a double-tap, but not sure if that would work 
for the extra hard-drive. I'm sure not an expert on these things!

Thanks for the help!
