After some pre-purchase advice. Are PCI SATA cards supported in old Pentium chipsets? I want to be able to install and boot to SATA drives if possible (as I have a ton lying around but no old pata drives).
Are there certain chipsets that I should look for for the SATA controler?
Thank you.
Better take CompactFlash to IDE adapter (CF-IDE adapter) or SD-card to IDE adapter.
You can buy them on ebay or aliexpress.

They usually support boot from external SCSI and IDE, so SATA will work too.

Silicon Image 3112/3114 proved to be quite reliant and compatible.
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
But have no good 9x driver.
better get a IDE2SATA Bridge, and maybe if you want more speed a Fastrak UDMA 133 Controller.

Promise TX2Plus PATA+SATA controller works fine in Win98SE, also works on PCI 2.1 motherboards (i.e. i440BX, i430TX etc).
I used the CF option in my 430TX system. It feels like a bit of a waste to use a SATA adapter with it, as I don't want to have double-letter drives in my dozens of partitions. Then again, with smaller SATA drives, that wouldn't be an issue, and might be cool to have drives 20+ years newer than the motherboard.
