Perhaps I misunderstood, but all the versions of these adapters I've seen recently support everything I know of in IDE-land. That is, both 2.5" & 3.5" PATA and both 2.5" & 3.5" SATA (no real difference in the connector for the two sizes of SATA drives of course). FWIW, they also claim to support ATAPI for CD/DVD drives. If there are versions of this device out there which do NOT support both PATA and SATA drives then ignore them since the adapters which support both PATA and SATA are readily available and give you more options. Always good to have more options. I suppose there may also be capacity limits. If there are, I never see them documented in the product descriptions which is both irritating and frustrating. But I also don't know what to do about that. :-( -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
