The AEC-6280M that you bought supports standard ATA IDE hard drives (Parallel ATA) which use a standard 80conductor/40pin ribbon cable.

The AEC6290M is a SATA hard drive controller, which uses a Serial ATA interface, and uses a 7pin or 15pin cable completely different from a standard IDE drive.

So, if you are using standard ATA IDE drives, you chose the right controller.

What is the difference between the two cards? I bought
the AEC-6280M ATA/133 controller.

They are great cards. Lower price than Sonnet Tempo
controllers.
Haven't seen them benchmarked against comparable
Sonnet Tempo's though.
