Wouldn't work on multiple systems

Got one of these today and so far it hasn't worked at all. I've tried three (working) IDE drives and a laptop drive. The best success I've had is for the adapter to show up in Device Manager, but the drive never appears in My Computer. Of course, this is Vista's doing, I'm thinking, but I tried...

Can't read files

It works wells with NTFS though. It could be my XP machine is lacking a driver needed to read older IDE Hdds. The Older drives are either Win 3.x to Win 98. Should work according to the Adapter manual.

Userful but not perfect

The device looks pretty good quality, its a little thicker than I expectedm, but I didn't pay much for it. So didn't expect much. It worked for the XP system I had, but its annoying that the "Saftely Remove Hardware" can not stop the device. So I just have to yank it out of the USB port with a...
