Review on BYEASY Adapter Universal External HD02 by Jake Larson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Removable IDE drive (Iomega Zip, Onstream DI-30) never showed up with media installed

For some reason I'm trying to recover data from old media, an Iomega Zip drive using iomega's backup program used. which only works on XP 32-bit and earlier and on the Onstream DI-30 Digital Disc. Both companies have gone out of business so I don't have new drivers (latest updates around 2006). Booth drives are IDE and show up as "working" in Windows 10 when installed with an internal IDE->PCIe adapter. But the software doesn't run and I can't see the drives in the virtual machine (Hyper-V or Virtual Box), so I had to "convert" them to USB as external; Version of both drives (or external CD). This adapter showed up in Device Manager about 50% of the time, and even then it just showed the drive with no media installed (although it did and I copied the archive files from the zip archive). drive to my hard drive (but the recovery program insists on a physical drive. Ugh). Anyway, 1 reason for this (converting IDE drive to USB) didn't work.

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Very Expensive
