I've bought a replacement Superdrive for my iMac (mid-2007), however I've ordered the wrong type (appears to be for 2008 and later).

I received one with a SATA connector? (1 inch with gap between pins about one third) and my current one is IDE PATA? (1 inch with no gap).

Is there a convertor or cable I can use?
Have I described the connector types correctly?

I've searched eBay and not found anything that appears to match.

Failing this I will return to exchange for the correct type, but wanted to check first.

If you're referring to these:

I know of no such adapter offhand. If there were one, it might interfere with the drive fitting into the imac anyway (it would push the drive further out).
