Thanks. I don’t believe we have any IDE-based laptops at the house. The link I sent you privately yesterday at Amazon, also showed an IDE to SATA interface cord for $3. or some such. The IDE-based SSDs did not seem brand-name but they did exist. I was not familiar with KingSpec, but you may be right and that could be a rebranded SSD.
Good luck and let us know how it comes out.

Thanks all for the thoughts. In case you're interested, it appears as though Kingston makes (or brands) an SSD with IDE interface.

The SSD drives usually have the SATA connections. If your PC has the older
non-SATA (IDE) connection, it won't work.
Do you have a link to that SSD?

John,
What OS is this for. I think mainly you want to make sure TRIM is
"enabled" for the OS.
It is a bit more difficult for a MAC.

HI all-
Has anyone recently installed a solid state drive in an older laptop?
Kingston advertises one for $65 that supposedly comes with software
that will transfer files to it, also. What a great way to revive an
older laptop. Or are there issues? Installation issues? Driver
issues? Interface issues?
Thanks,
John Lee
