What machine you have it on?

I can see this working on a G3/G4 iBook or PowerBook but not on anything older than a Wallstreet. What is the Master/Slave switch set for? Set it to Master if you can an see it is works. There are problems with IDE->SD and CF->SD converters on older Macs, because the IDE on the older Mac is not a perfect IDE as in a PC.

This is why I prefer a IDE SSDs, CF->IDE converters, CF->PCMCIA converters and PCMCIA FlashRAM cards, they do work on the older Macs. I've only heard of 1 SSD not working on an old Mac. It's posted somewhere on the forum.
