Review: Works fine with my old 486 motherboard - Works fine in a old 486 I brought back to life to play DOS games on. Good value and seems nicely built. Nice to have the Compact Flash card in an easy to access area to swap out if needed.
Review: Works with 486-era PCs. - This adapter did work with my 486DX4 system and a 1Gb CF card, but I wasn't able to get much actual use out of it because the system has trouble with IDE disks in general.

## Features

- Computer peripheral equipment manufacturers use CF-IDE cards in conjunction with CF cards to test motherboards, sound cards, graphics cards and other products. In these occasions, the power supply needs to be turned on/off frequently. Traditional mechanical hard drives are easily damaged. CF is a kind of electronic hard disk, which is completely different from mechanical hard disk in principle, and it is not easy to be damaged in these occasions
- Portable instruments that use embedded X86 or RISC cores usually have IDE interfaces. If the CF card cannot be directly connected to these instruments, you can use this adapter to complete the transfer
- Personal computers (PCs): These computers are usually x86 kernels, which are the main platforms used by the card. Some digital cameras have a CF card interface. You can access your picture data on a desktop computer through this card
- Industrial PCs use this card and CF card together to store embedded operating systems such as embedded LINUX or WIN CE
- Support CF-I and CF-II two types of cards: also support IBM micro hard disk with CF-II interface. 5.0V or 3.3V power supply: select the appropriate power supply voltage according to your CF card

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine with my old 486 motherboard
*by M***0 on March 4, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with 486-era PCs.
*by A***C on January 3, 2026*

This adapter did work with my 486DX4 system and a 1Gb CF card, but I wasn't able to get much actual use out of it because the system has trouble with IDE disks in general.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked well for replacing a dying hard drive in an industrial machine
*by S***S on April 12, 2025*

A job called me to work on a metal bending machine and this thing may be generic -- but that's exactly what is needed in these situations. Because it's just a passive IDE converter device, my 4GB CF card showed up just like the hard drive did and got the machine up and running again. The PC board was using ISA slots. The CPU was a 500mhz x86 chip just to run DOS and talk to other ISA cards. It worked first try using the floppy power connector on the board and I was able to clone a partition to my CF card and boot from it, even being FAT16! Go figure
