2.5" SATA to IDE adapter?

[Steve]

I've got my friend's laptop drive, a 2.5" SATA drive and she'd like me to see if I can recover anything from it. The thing is, all my computers are good old IDE. Are there any adapters that will let me hook this up? I'd prefer to not use USB or any additional interfaces if it can be avoided, but please let me know if that's my only option.

Other than using a PCI SATA card, I don't think so.

Yes... Ebay for less than $6 shipped

Thanks for the PM Blain! That should work great.
