SATA to IDE convertors???

[R.O.S.S.I]

Hey all, just in the process of building a CD/DVD duplicator and the controller board has 8 IDE slots on it for 8 drives.

I've got some IDE CDRW drives, but can get hold of some SATA drives quite easily. Can you get hold of SATA to IDE cables so that I can use the SATA drives? Is it as simple as using a SATA to IDE cable or will there be any compatability issues?!

You need to use a little interface board/adapter to convert the physical connection and not just a cable.
