Adaptec ASH-1233 High-Speed UltraATA/133 PCI Controller Card

There will be no need for any drivers. Bring those old IDE drives back to life! I ordered this for my Linux machine (which runs four different distros) because the new ASUS board (N68C-1) didn't work with the others. The GX4FX) didn't have an IDE port, so I couldn't use it with my IDE dock. I plugged the board into the PCI slot, connected the old dock cable to port 1 on the board, and rebooted the machine; everything was fine, with all three SATA drives and one IDE drive detected and running! br>br>Simple, cheap, and easy way to make use of those old IDE drives that are just sitting around collecting dust or stripping old data. Just a word of warning: To find the one that works, you may need to experiment with the master/slave pin arrangement on the back of your IDE drive.

There are no instructions provided. When it does work, it's a hit-or-miss situation. This card didn't get along with my HP, but a bios update fixed that. I was able to access two old non-public documents as a result of this. SATA drives should be cloned to SATA drives.

It isn't compatible with Windows 7 or 10. Best of luck in your search for transportation. br>I'm hoping that a Microsoft update will bring drivers to the table.

Well, it works fine on a shared bus for a 133 or 33, and I was mainly testing ide dvd drives with it.

Simple to install, and it's given a new lease on life to an old machine I'm resurrecting.

I'm using it with Unraid to use some older PATA drives, and it's a great add-on card.
