I may have missed something here and this is an old post, but...

I have an inexpensive widget that provides power for IDE or SATA
drives, has IDE  & SATA connectors/plugs.  It connects to a USB port.

In Linux, it seems to be handled transparently by the usb-storage
module on a 2.4 kernel.  I think that's compiled into the kernel by
default on 2.6 and later.

Has worked on all IDE HDs I've trried it on except a very old (ca. 20
years) one that may have been defunct.  Haven't tried it with SATA.

FWIW,
