Damn, as is often the case looks like I made it to the party late. Have not been on these forums for quite some time now. But back when found some great info that got me going with 4100's. Well those are long since retired and home brew solutions just aren't cutting it anymore so came here to see what the options might be for the higher 4000 series snaps. Finding some good deals on ebay for 44s and 45s but for the reasons mentioned have been reluctant to pull the trigger. Guess it's a great example of the supply and demand. PATA supply is low and the those that demand it will have to pay. In any case, remembered these forums being a great help in my days of 4100s and figured I'd come by and see if anyone had come up with a way to use sata in these GOS units.

Yippee there are two threads devoted just to this topic. My heart is a flutter, perhaps I can dump my frankinstien home brews and go back to a real nas!! But alas as i read down my hopes are dashed. Phoenix has spent his time researching, tooling and testing and come up with the solution, and while I'm certain there are more than who have chimed in here interested, few have spoken up. Pheonix, if you should ever decide to revive this topic count me in as one who be very interested, or should you ever decide to have a run made and list them for sale somewhere please let me know. I for one am glad that people like you are around. Those who see a problem say there has to be an answer and then come hell or high water find that solution. Shame of the matter is that other don't appreciate the work involved. Guess in todays world everyone just thinks that anything that they want should be either a click away or at their local Walmart.

Thanks for your efforts!
