Can I connect a ATA-100 IDE HDD from my old T41P to a Z61P using the Ultrabay or does it accept only Serial ATA?

Definately - an ATA hdd in the ATA hdd adapter works just dandy in the ultrabay.

Thanks for the reply. In the z61 accessories page it says "connect SERIAL ata HDD" for ultrabay. Are you sure the older IDE HDD would work?

I use my hdd ultrabay adapter from my T42 with my hitachi ata 60gig 7200rpm drive from my T42.
I always have that hdd adapter and harddrive in my ultrabay of my Z60m.

I do want to get the sata hdd adapter and another sata hdd, but I havent gotten around to that yet.

Ok, so I need a regular none-serial ATA adopter. Do they still sell those?

Oh, I thought you had one.
But of course they still sell them.
