[ale] PATA to SATA adapters?

[Derek Atkins]

Does it specifically need to be a PATA to SATA adapter?
Could you use a PATA to USB adapter?
Maybe something like:

http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Adapter-Converter-Optical-External/dp/B002OV1VJW

It's $10 from Amazon with Prime shipping.  Granted, it's only USB2, not USB3.
