I'm using for other applications these days. I assume the older

don't self-identify their geometry or handle newer parts of the IDE

that these contemporary devices depend on.
Any advice for USB-based reading of old drives on new equipment?
For that matter, I'd consider investing in the more professional
levels of drive reading devices. These $30 USB devices aren't doing
it for me. I want a better chance at read dying drives.
You could get an IDE PCI card..
