[H] Seeking links to SATA/EIDE converters?

[DHSinclair]

OK, I now own 6 Sabrent SBT-SCIDE sata/eide converters.  2 are in use. 1 is 
now suspect. 3 remain untested.
I spoke with Sabrent today. They have no technical knowledge of their own 
product. Freely admitted that this product is a cheap knock-off of other 
"more expensive" products in the pipeline ATM. Bummer.

So, what are these other "more expensive" converters?  I have a link to 
HyperMicrosystems for $19 each, but it clearly states that it only works 
with hard drives.  I am looking for reliable converters for both hard 
drives and cdrom/dvdrom/burner that are pata-based.

I will test the rest of my stack tonight. Newegg and I will settle up next 
week if necessary.
Thank you,
Duncan
