Testing: Old IDE drives that are not USB IDE adapter compatible

Toni Wilen · 03 August 2017, 19:03

If you have Windows 7+ PC and have (very) old IDE drive (for example original A600HD drive or similar) that does not work with USB IDE adapters (drive appears are zero size drive Windows Disk Management, if drive does not appear or drive information is corrupted = there is nothing software can do):

- download development winuae (http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae.7z)
- run it as administrator
- click add harddrive
- select the drive from dropdown menu (it should be listed, note that previous winuae versions won't list it)
- click new "Read Identity" button. (If list is empty -> check the log)
- copy&paste the output

I am trying to confirm if the problem is as simple as HD being CHS only (Adapter assuming LBA and gets LBA size from undefined LBA field which only contains zeros) and if SCSI (USB uses SCSI which adapter converts to IDE) or IDE passthrough allows to access the drive.

(Or in worst case problem is hardware level that can't be worked around)

Make and model of the USB converter/enclosure, type of bridge chip and/or USB ID would also be helpful. Various bridge chips have different vendor-specific ATA passthrough methods.

rare_j · 07 August 2017, 00:05

What's the easiest way to tell what kind of bridge chip in in any given ide\usb adapter?

alexh · 07 August 2017, 07:18

Right click my computer. Manage. Device manager

mark_k · 10 August 2017, 18:01

Also try Microsoft's USB View program.

For convenience I've uploaded the USB View executables only to

Code:

Drive: Seagate ST9235AG 210Mb

Windows 7 disk management cannot read the drive. Offers to 'initialise' it.
I don't want to initialise it because this is the old drive form my A1200.
In disk management drive properties, it reads size as 0
In uae 3.5.0 the drive is not listed
in uae beta, the drive is listed:

Thanks. This looks promising.

IDENTITY returns valid drive name so drive<>adapter communication is working.

READ CAPACITY returns FFFFFFFF as number of blocks so adapter is getting confused which probably explains zero size in Windows.

rare_j · 12 August 2017, 19:52

The second USB/IDE adapter is a Startech USB3SSATAIDE
Same hard drive.
USBView crashes when I try to view the details.
The drive comes up in device manager (and windows explorer) as a removable drive with no disk inserted.

In uae beta the drive is listed as a generic ATA/ATAPI device.
When the 'read identity' button is hit I get no output and uae freezes.

The USB/IDE adapter that 'worked' is much older.
It is branded SOHOUSB EASYIDE, P/No.B407EASYIDE

The Startech adapter that couldn't even see the drive is a USB3 dual sata/ide adapter, a modern device.

Toni Wilen · 13 August 2017, 18:48

Above output is adapter generated content, I guess it failed to communicate with the drive and returned something build-in to keep OS happy. Does it return different looking data when working drive is connected?

--

winuae.7z updated, now it tries to read first 256 blocks of data (first using READ(6) and then same with READ(10)) when read identity is pressed.

Could you run this with your "working" adapter, then check if SPT_READ_06.DAT and SPT_READ_10.DAT appears in winuae directory with non-zero size. If either (or both) are non-zero, please attach (or email) files. (These files shouldn't contain any actual HD data, only RDB contents but if your drive has something private, check files with hex editor first). Attach also winuaebootlog.txt.

Interesting... was there any error message when USB View crashed? What is the USB ID of the adapter (you might need to connect it to a more modern drive before checking)?

How do I find out the usb id of the adapter in windows?

mark_k · 13 August 2017, 22:05

Run USB View, or you can see it in Device Manager (it's more obvious in USB View). In USB View click the entry corresponding to the adapter in the tree view on the left, then on the right it'll say something like (this example being for a Bluetooth dongle):

Code:

idVendor:                        0x0A5C = Broadcom Corp.
idProduct:                       0x21E8

Also include the Manufacter, Product and SerialNumber strings.

Not sure why usbview is crashing. Maybe try running it as administrator? Or try downloading the Windows Driver Kit from Microsoft (it's part of that).

Anyway, USB ID 1F75:0611 corresponds to Innostor Technology Corporation, probably IS611 chip from the product ID. According to this thread on the smartmontools mailing list it supports SAT (a standard way to pass ATA commands over SCSI). So it may be possible for WinUAE to support direct access to it in future.

The old "working" adapter is the Myson Century one, right? You might, once WinUAE supports SAT, have better luck with the Startech one. As far as I could see after a quick google search, the Myson chip doesn't support ATA pass-through (or at least, no-one knows how).

Toni Wilen WinUAE developer Join Date: Aug 2001 Location: Hämeenlinna/Finland Age: 49 Posts: 26,503	Thanks. This looks promising. IDENTITY returns valid drive name so drive<>adapter communication is working. READ CAPACITY returns FFFFFFFF as number of blocks so adapter is getting confused which probably explains zero size in Windows.

rare_j Zone Friend Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: London Posts: 1,176	The second USB/IDE adapter is a Startech USB3SSATAIDE Same hard drive. USBView crashes when I try to view the details. The drive comes up in device manager (and windows explorer) as a removable drive with no disk inserted. In uae beta the drive is listed as a generic ATA/ATAPI device. When the 'read identity' button is hit I get no output and uae freezes.

Toni Wilen WinUAE developer Join Date: Aug 2001 Location: Hämeenlinna/Finland Age: 49 Posts: 26,503	Above output is adapter generated content, I guess it failed to communicate with the drive and returned something build-in to keep OS happy. Does it return different looking data when working drive is connected? -- winuae.7z updated, now it tries to read first 256 blocks of data (first using READ(6) and then same with READ(10)) when read identity is pressed. Could you run this with your "working" adapter, then check if SPT_READ_06.DAT and SPT_READ_10.DAT appears in winuae directory with non-zero size. If either (or both) are non-zero, please attach (or email) files. (These files shouldn't contain any actual HD data, only RDB contents but if your drive has something private, check files with hex editor first). Attach also winuaebootlog.txt.

mark_k Registered User Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Posts: 3,333	Not sure why usbview is crashing. Maybe try running it as administrator? Or try downloading the Windows Driver Kit from Microsoft (it's part of that). Anyway, USB ID 1F75:0611 corresponds to Innostor Technology Corporation, probably IS611 chip from the product ID. According to this thread on the smartmontools mailing list it supports SAT (a standard way to pass ATA commands over SCSI). So it may be possible for WinUAE to support direct access to it in future.

mark_k Registered User Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Posts: 3,333	The old "working" adapter is the Myson Century one, right? You might, once WinUAE supports SAT, have better luck with the Startech one. As far as I could see after a quick google search, the Myson chip doesn't support ATA pass-through (or at least, no-one knows how).
