 Smaller pool eh ;-)
 I've limited means and my 6.4 gig H.D. croaked on the H.P.
 Despite that small size I had Win 98 and Knoppix Linux installed
 dual boot :-)

Go to www.compusa.com, select computer peripherals, I/O cards.
You'll be returned a page with all sorts of I/O cards, select
IDE and it'll be narrowed down further.

After that you're presented a very few choices of some no-name, maginally
known names and brand name I/O cards.
Open a new window to each cards info link and you'll get the exact 
specifications. Review or save HTML to review at your leisure.
The Belkins card is pricier but carries a lifetime warrantee.
The Siig card is ten dollars cheaper.

I'm planning on springing for the Belkins card just because
of the lifetime warrantee.

I suspect the Siig card would also be suitable to my requirements
after reviewing its' specs.

Both cards are of course PCI internal.

Hope this is of some help.           

If you still have difficulty locating the cards I mentioned 
I'll locate them myself and send along their exact urls.
