To use my "old" IDE devices, I bought adapters. The options on the net about these weren't very good: too slow, do not work. I cannot confirm this.
My adapters:
LogiLink Adapter AD0008: S-ATA to IDE + IDE to S-ATA

Adapter needs power supply via a USB power cable (within the scope of supply).
LogiLink Adapter AU0005A: USB 2.0 to 2,5 + 3,5 Zoll IDE HDD

Great stuff, works with HDD, CD drives, ...
If motherboard supports boot from USB, OS from an external HDD or CD drive can be executed.
Jumper has to be set master.
