The cheap one I bought off Ebay years ago, combined with a separate mains adapter for power, will talk to an old laptop IDE HDD from the early 90s, and all the SATA HDDs that I've tried. But I haven't tried it with any drives made very recently. Have you tried them on a different OS just in case it's a buggy driver that's limiting some of the adapters? -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _# | Note: I won't see posts made from Google Groups |
