frankhuzzah Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I've been digging through the information for this motherboard and am planning on using it in my new OSx86 build. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a IDE to SATA adapter for my DVD-RW. I've seen a few different ones suggested, but I'd hate do order the wrong one. Or if there is a better one than is listed in the threads, obviously, I'd like to know that as well. Thanks a ton!

frankhuzzah Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Anyone? Maybe a SATA DVD drive would be a better investment? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50022-ide-to-sata-adapter-for-ga-965p-ds3-build/#findComment-358225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Purvis Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I am using a Intel DP965LT board and actually had to connect my internal IDE DVD Burner to my USB Hard Drive enclosure kit. I got sick of the IDE cable comming out of the front of my case to the Hard Drive Enclosure sitting on top of my tower, and then using a USB cable to connect the DVD Burner. Also, with this setup, my Hackintosh wouldn't play DVD movies from my DVD Burner. DVD Player would whine about an invalid DVD Drive. I did a little looking around and found an IDE to SATA Adapter at CompUSA (SKU 33990). They were 30 bucks each and bought two. I came home last night and hooked one up to the DVD Burner and moved it to the SATA #1 port. I turned the Hackintosh back and on there was the DVD Burner in the System Profile, and on top of it, DVD Player plays my movies now! The only problem I have is that my Hackintosh only sees two of the four SATA devices I have in my PC. It won't see the devices on SATA #2 or SATA #3 ports. Hopefully I find the answer to that this morning.

sigxcpu Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 DP965LT PATA works directly in OS X with a little patch. Search the forum. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50022-ide-to-sata-adapter-for-ga-965p-ds3-build/#findComment-359624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
