Unless you are wanting to use it for long term storage, you might consider a dock. There are some that will accomodate both IDE and SATA, both 2.5 and 3.5 inch. I recently bought a nice SATA one for $20.

OWC sells one that has both USB and Firewire interfaces for $60.

Neither of the docks you linked will work with Caroline's hard drive-- or am I missing something?
Edit-- just searched Newegg inventory-- as extensively as I have time to-- and don't see a single docking station that will accept an IDE drive.
I prefer the docks now too, but this doesn't seem like a solution for her . . .?
