For $8, I almost feel like I have to try it out. Photos show it has a BIOS.
I'll let you know how it works when it arrives.

JMB363, plenty on scambay and alliexpress. Im sure someone already tested it here, like this Re: Testing and imaging old IDE/PATA drives
I do not have any CHS only drives on hand (probably have some in storage) to test this on the only PCIE PATA controller I have which is Jmicron JMB363 based . A potential issue with pretty much every PCI or PCIE controller card is the lack of an option to choose the translation mode, so if a drive supports both LBA and CHS, was setup in CHS mode on a legacy machine and is then plugged into a modern controller which sets it to LBA mode, I do not believe it would be readable . IDE controllers managed by the motherboard's BIOS will usually let you set the translation mode, so they would not have an issue .

Ha! What I got in the mail was an DVI-HDMI adapter. Did not expect that at all.

That would have been nice, but no. Walmart wants me to send the adapter back to them and is sending me a shipping label.
Looks like I get nothing but a waste of time.
😮 maybe try to escalate, clearly they stocked wrong item or third party using their platform is straight up scamming

If it were an "active" DVI-HDMI adapter be worth keeping but my guess is a generic cheap passive type, not like the better Startech active ones (have one some where and actually works great, hmmm where did I put it 🤣)
