It's a Dell Dimention E520 bought in end-of-financial year sale. To try to satisfy your curiosity I attach a link to an image of the mobo here: http://imagebin.ca/view/Irf9scl2.html The closest thing to look to like an IDE connector is at the centre near the bottom, half hidden by the longer extension card. The label on the mobo next to it says "Floppy". I dug up its specifications from here: http://supportapj.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dimE520/en/SM_EN/specs.htm Under "drives"->"Available Devices" it reads: "Serial ATA drives (4), floppy drive, USB memory devices, CD/DVD drive, and Media Card Reader". The CD-ROM is SATA too (from visual inspection). Is anyone else here feels the same as Jam that it's unlikely that I have a mobo without an old-style parallel ATA controller?
