i hope certain others will excuse my reply to you OT post.
instead of a pci slot board, i purchased a board that is an ide/pata to
dual sata converter.
card connects to ribbon cable dip connector on main board, giving 2 sata
connections. works great.
an inet search for 'ide/pata to sata converter' will give plenty of hits.
card i purchased;

card is available thru many computer accessory suppliers which one will
find with web search of "ide/pata to sata".
