I can't see what chip this uses... I know a lot of them have troubles working with Intel's ICH8+ chipsets.
Holy baconnaise, I am so behind the times:
"converts sevial ATA to paraller ATA."
Sevial? Paraller? When did these new formats come out? Why didn't I get the memo? They must be awesome.
Sevial? Paraller? That sounds like wording from the bad Engrish translation on the worthless "instruction" sheet that come with these adapters. I bought two of these ..total junk ..threw everything away.
I agree with #3. I've tried a lot of these and most don't work.
Thanks #3 & #4, You just save me $4.
$4 you just saved me from #3 and #4
Years ago I read that map makers put "fake" streets on their maps to show when someone copies their stuff. I wonder if other bargsin sites do the same thing so when someone (Ben?) rips them off the errors are obvious.
I have this bought from Meritline, actually two of them and it's been working fine to convert ICH9 SB SATA to a PATA HDD.
The bridge chip is labeled SunplusIT, SPIF2223A.

If yours don't work, try changing bios to emulation mode for the SATA ports, and changing the drive jumper.
