Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I purchased a couple of 
external drive cases.  You take your IDE hard drive, plug it in, close 
the box, and plug it into a USB port.

Granted, you'll have to locate it and put it in fstab, but it's not 
rocket science.

You can do this for quite a lot of drives if you like.  Since drives are 
coming down like mad, it's a great deal.
