Sorry it has been a little bit guys but it seems like I had to go through even more hoops to figure out the issues. First off, the board on the caddy I had was bad because I swapped it with another from a parts board I already had, and it could read both slots, but I was still getting code 10 errors …

Not sure how practical this idea would be, and TBH I don't know what they're called or why they're there, but over the years I had a few boards which came with these types of sprung steel U-shaped metal braces on various IO slots. They weren't to fix a cracked slot, as none ever were, so I can only …

I can report that the adapter works without a hitch in my Fujitsu Stylistic Tablet. I think it is well worth the money to save the time and frustration and just get this!

According to page 39 of this https://www.manualsearcher.com/fujitsu/stylistic-st5021/manual?p=49 , the chipset is an Intel 855GME . According to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/design-guide/855gm-855gme-chipset-platform-design-guide.pdf , the 855GME is used with an ICH4-M (mobile ICH4) . So …

Thank you. I unfortunately do not have any machines with an ICH4 (82801DBM) to test my adapters with . Do you have an exact model for that Fujitsu Stylistic ? Maybe if we can get an informal survey of who actually got a given JM20330 adapter working (or not), on what IDE controller, we could start …

Please also disclose what IDE controller or motherboard (if using an integrated one) you are using . This could be a simple incompatibility between the JM20330 and the controller you are using . Unfortunately, I do not have a drive for my Fujitsu Stylistic to boot to find out the IDE controller; …

UDMA can work fine with JM20330 chips . I have had success with ICH2 (only up to UDMA66 and only with the ESDI_506.PDR driver patched for LBA48, it was hopelessly broken with IAA for me) and a Promise Ultra133 TX2, both under Windows 98 SE . What IDE controller are you using with your JM20330 …

So I went ahead and was able to disable Ultra DMA mode, and it worked! Apparently, the JM20330 chipset has issues with the Ultra DMA speeds, so I think suffice to say that these cheaper adapters you see pop up everywhere come at a cost! Thanks so much for the help. UDMA can work fine with JM20330 …

Question before I dive into what you asked for nvm1, what kind of adapters are you using? Are they the cheap ones that come in plastic? Because I have been reading more that those , which are the ones I have, have compatibility issues due to their chipset, which is the JM20330. I have been doing …

So I tried booting in gparted from a live USB and that did not work as well. It would hang at a black screen with the blinking white line up top.; however, I could boot just fine if the drive was taken out and just booting with the USB in. Makes me wonder whether these ide to mSATA adapters are not …

Dear All, I am posting because I have been having a heck of a time trying to get an msata ssd to work with my old Fujitsu Stylistic ST 5021.
