When I bought a SATA Hard Drive for my second computer IDE slot, I purchased the only type of IDE-SATA dongle they had in stock. As it turns out I got the one for a SATA BUS to an IDE Hard Drive. Is it reasonable to use a gender changer on the end of the IDE ribbon connector [Master Position if need be] to interface with the dongle I have? I presume that the SATA and IDE bus and Hard Drives interface universally with their own type of BUS/Drive. The computer is an eMachine T2896 and the hard drive is a Seagate 1TB 3.5 Inch 32MB Barracuda Model Number: ST310005N1A1AS-RK. Any recommendations would be helpful.
