More IDE hard drives for the M4A77TD

The M4a77TD only supports two IDE devices. I had planned to extend that significantly with an old Paradise66 IDE PCI card, but it turns out that card is not compatible with the motherboard - I suspect because all of the PCI slots use shared IRQs. What a pain. A cheap alternative can be found at DealExtreme who sells a IDE drive to SATA plug adapter for only $4.17, with shipping and handling. Yes, you loose one SATA port, but with 6 ports, I'm not crying too hard.
