On another post I used an IDE to SATA adapters I later found out that they at times hang up the Buddha IDE buss and would not be reliable on my A3000D/T. I was working om y A1200 and decided to order a different IDE to SATA adapter that would fit inside the A1200 using the IDE2SD adapter. It works great, I now can have a single SATA cable coming out of the A1200 to my SATA DVD drive. The picture shows that I was powering up the DVD drive from the A1200 and the adapter. I have cleaned up the wiring, I powered up the adapter using a floppy power connector powered up from the A1200 power connector. The DVD is powered from a separate power supply. When not using the SATA cable slide a piece of tubbing over it for its protection. This adapter works great with the Buddha IDE. There are switch settings on the adapter for its settings. The adapter I used is SYBA SD-ADA50016 SATA II to IDE ATA133 Bi-directional Adapter I bought on eBay for $9.39 free shipping no VAT across the pond, Idaho U.S.A.
enjoy!
