It Doesn't Work [Posted on 2006-12-09] The Amazon picture is not the actual item. That looks like a card reader of some sort.
This device is supposed to be a controller that adapts an existing, old pci system to work as an ata-based system. Translation, it's supposed to make the hard drive(s) operate faster and give access to all GBs available on the hard drive.
The thing just wouldn't work.
I followed the instructions, which were written backwards. It first tells you to install the hardware and connect up the cables. Then it tells you to install the software. Problem. If the machine can't see my HD because I just installed the hardware but there is no software supporting it, it's not possible to install the software. Just dumb.
One hour later and many different things tried, no good.
Don't buy it.
