Accidentally bought an IDE drive enclosure when I needed a SATA one.
Yes I know I'm an idiot but the description said it was compatible with all 3.5" drives so I assumed it was a combo one. So I need to know if you can get IDE > SATA adapators please. I know you can get SATA to IDE but I need IDE to SATA.

edit: Well I found the type of adaptor I'm looking for, only problem it was a manufacturer website that only deals in bulk orders I think. I guess thats given me some hope though.

Yes they definitely exist, I've got one here - it's a small card that plugs into an IDE port which then has two SATA ports on it. Cost me about £20 I think.

Problem is I need one that is a socket IDE connector rather than a plug because I need to connect it to a plug IDE connector.
