Hi, I'm looking at a motherboard update and have apparently left it too long: it's hard to find new MBs that have PATA connectors (there are a few, but choice is pretty limited). The hard drives for this machine are SATA, but the optical drives are PATA. There are a few PATA to SATA converters which basically plug onto the back of the drive and provide a SATA connection. Anyone tried these and found any issues in Linux? It's not too dear to buy new optical drives, but I've got two and it seems a bit wasteful to throw them out when they in good condition. (Actually, given how cheap new ones are I wonder if they're better quality anyway.) -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
