Mine was too.  I did have an ATA slot on the new motherboard.  I don't know 
for certain, however, the new board had a lot of unused adapters.  My 
motherboard is an ASUS M3N-HT Mempipe.  It has 4 SATA slots and one ATA, which 
can be used for two drives.  It has lots of very sophisticated capabilities, 
so perhaps it is unique.  If your motherboard does not have a place to connect 
ATA drives, it wouldn't work.

If I can find an appropriate SATA to ATA adapter, I will get back to you for an 
address to send it.  It may take a bit, but surely I will know in an hour or 
so.  I am East Coast US and it is 15 minutes past noon right now.

I do not have the adapter that would work.  I have several with sata and 
regular power connector adapters, but nothing that would work from a SATA MB 
to ATA HHD connector.  I will look at some of the sites that sell adapters 
just to see if such a thing exists.  If I find a solution and you haven't found 
a solution to your problem, I will get back to you.
