So, supposedly you can hook up your old IDE hard drives to your new SATA motherboard. i bought a couple of these to hook my wd IDE drives into the SATA ports on my Gigabyte p965ds3 mobo. they are little pcbs with a sata connection, a sata power connection, and an ide connection that goes into the back of the hard drive. If anyone is familiar with these and has advice on how to hook them up, i could use some help.

I have put the drives on Master and CS, no joy.
