Comment on Ask HN: What to do with many old pata hard disks?

Comments

Personally, I do not miss the ribbon cables that PATA drive use. It was a pain in the ass to route them, particularly in some MicroATX cases.

Couldn't you use an PCI card to add support for more PATA slots? Certainly someone like Promise probably makes something like that.
