Saw these SATA to IDE adapters on eBay and really liked the idea.
A quick and easy way to turn a SATA drive into an IDE drive without minimal changes to the retro system (just keep using the IDE and Molex cable).
However in order to be fully compatible a small capacity is desired.
Well if you have a Samsung or Seagate drive you can use SEATOOLS to limit the capacity to 32GB 😀
And voila, you have a "modern" 32GB IDE drive. Perfect for you DOS/W95/W98 machine.
I haven't investigated the performance yet but will do so.
I will be using this setup (BX board with this HDD and W98SE) for more Voodoo 2 scaling work. So I will be able to give an overall impression on performance and reliability.
