Does anyone make a PATA controller with Win7 drivers? I've been
looking at the VIA chipset boards, but I can't find Win7 drivers on
their site.

I am not sure if this is the answer you want, but a USB caddy still
works OK. If it is a one off transfer of files, it will be a solution.

Shouldn't there still be standard Microsoft ATA drivers packaged with Win 7?

If there are, I haven't heard them mentioned by manufacturers yet. The
Win7 driver structure must be different enough from Vista 64 that
there's some reluctance to port older technologies... Hence Matrox
abandoning Win7 support for some of their older products, etc. Given
that, I wasn't expecting to see any out-of-the-box P-ATA drivers.
Anyone know if they exist?
