I've just purchased the P8P67 mb, i5-2400 cpu, MSI N4600GTX GPU but noticed that ATAPI devices are not supported. My primary drive is a 1TB SATA (no problem) but my two other HD's and two Optical (DVD & CD) burners are ATAPI. Do i now have to trash my drives and buy new? or will a ATAPI PCI card work to allow me to continue?
thanks!

Mama is on my case about $$ ('specally after spending $700).
question: will a add-in PCI card (ATAPI) work for non-boot devices and support Nero9?

Thanks B@A!
Looks like lots of choices on the converters - get good reviews on VinPower IDESA1.0 at newegg. If you have a suggested mfr/model, please let me know! I'll see if this one is at a local supplier (either bestbuy or local pc shop).
