   STOLEN REVIEW:

   Excellent easy to use device. Intended for tech types. Used successfully in Windows XP and Linux (knoppix, ubuntu). Tested with older and newer name brand CD-RW drives, DVD ROM drives, and DVD recorders, all good; including being able to burn reliably. Would not recognize drives under 1 gig. Over 1 gig, and all is good. This might help: I connect USB cable to running XP computer last. Connect power cable and device to IDE connector. Power up PCMS device. (CD/DVD drives will power up. Hard drives may need to be connected to USB port to spin up.) Then plug in USB cable to computer. WinXP will detect PCMS and install device as a new drive letter. Thats it. You must remember to go to computer management (under administration) and partition and format the drive if the drive is new or needs to be (re)configured for use. The device itself is of good quality and design. I recommend it. Follow the above instructions and use known good hardware before deciding if there is a problem with the PCMS. I especially love the fact that you don’t have to load any drivers/software. Can’t beat the price, especially with free shipping.

   Will this work with a Zip drive? If so, would be a very neat toy!
