Review on πŸ“€ StarTech.com IDE to Compact Flash SSD Adapter - 40/44 Pin IDE to CF Card Reader - CF to IDE Converter (IDE2CF), Black by Kristi Martinez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with my Mac Performa 630CD

This was the ONLY IDE device that worked with my Mac Performa 630CD. In fact, it was difficult to get it to work - not because of this device, but because I could only find 2 compact flash cards that would work with Performa. "Verbatim 4GB CompactFlash Memory Card, 95188 Black" (found here at Revain) was the only brand new card that worked. I also had a very old 32MB CF card that worked, but 32MB isn't that much space. 4GB is much better, and handy is the OS partition size limit on my Performa. I left all three jumpers at their default values of 1-2 (not 2-3), inserted the CF card, plugged it into the Performa, and it worked. System 7 might as well see this as System 8. I'd love to find a bigger card that works with Performa, but I'm just glad it works.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Nothing here
