Works great with my 20 year old Retro PC
I've purchased about a dozen StarTech CF-IDE adapters for various retro computers but I decided to try the Syba since it was half the cost and I didn't need a drive bay.I'm happy to say it works perfectly in my 20 year-old retro computer (an old AMD computer from 1997). I'm using this card with a SanDisk 16 GB CF and, unlike some of the super-cheap cards, this DOES send the HDD activity indicator to the motherboard so the LED does work properly. The overall build quality seems good and the CF card rails are deep enough so I don't feel like I'm going to bend the pins. Inserting and removing the card is smooth. The slot opening does come rather close to the edge of my case's back bracket but I didn't run into any clearance issues with my particular PC case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Syba CF to IDE = Startech CF to IDE
Reviewed in Canada on November 17, 2020
First off, I ordered both the Syba and Startech version of the same product. To my surprise they are exactly the same. See in the photo. My guess is they're made by the same manufacturer and the only differentiator is the company's sticker on the back.

As such, both work equally -- DMA mode cannot be enabled in Windows 98 SE, however, UDMA mode works by default in Windows 2000. My guess is W98 is just more picky with regards to mainboard drivers for the IDE BUS. No hassles otherwise. Works as advertised.
