Where can I buy a sata to ata converter?

[Milkman]

I am buying an Nf7-s but only have ide drives right now, I will need 4 ide connections, main drive and storage drive, Dvd rom and Cdrw, I think the board only comes with one, where can I buy another?

AFAIK, ExcaliberPC.com is the only place that sells Abit parts.

Thanks moorcito, I also found some on newegg, one that plugs into the drive and allows the use of sata cales from the board to the drive and one like the abit one.

NewEgg also has a converter from Abit here .

My NF7-S r2 board came with one converter. Also there are two ide channels still, so your 4 devices will fit without using sata connections.

Well, I doubt it, as he says "main drive and storage drive". I'm just trying to put his mind at ease a bit, and save him $25 bucks.

I think you are right... I was trying to understand what he needs that converter for and that was the only explanation I could come with

Abit motherboards may not work with all SATA adapters. People have reported that Abit's own Serillel, and the generic one (Twamp) sold at ajump consistently work fine with the IS7. The other brands esp. ones that do not use the Silicon Image chipset do not work, at least with the IS7. Don't know about the NF7-S. Check out this thread:
