I think Jörg meant to include a link pointing towards something like this:

The advantage of SATA <-> PATA converters ... when they work ... is
that it works at level so low in the hardware that the operating
system isn't really aware that it is there. So you shouldn't ... in
theory ... have to worry about whether firmware is compatible with
your MAC or not.

I've had good luck using converters to continue using PATA drives with
a SATA motherboard. Whether or not the ones to convert a PATA socket
for use with SATA drives would work for you I can not promise. But you
might want to consider trying it. (Or not).
