    ok I bought this Chinese card to and cant get JF to see any drive. I even tried a 3.5 SATA hard drive and it didnt work so I'm wondering if its my Gateway MX6956 laptop thats causing the issue.
    Maybe the VIA VT6421 chipset doesn't like my Gateway not sure!!

    Does anyone know of a laptop that works using the VIA VT6421 PCMCIA SATA card ?

    Dear friend, I have the same problem.
    It couldn't see any drive or harddisk.

    I tested it with dosflash, but it's the same problem.

    Kind Regards

    I've been trying with XP for like a week ------

    I just got the card to work with a $5000.00 laptop

    I think its the chipset on the motherboard it doesnt like I have tried 4 prveious laptops and it didn't work till this one.
    Well I got it to see a 3.5" Sata Hardrive that is I didn't bring a 360 dvd to work with me to try it.
    Guess I'll keep trying till I find a cheaper laptop that it works on !
    Does anyone know of a more affordable laptop to buy that these Chinese SATA PCMCIA adapters work on?

    Thanks I saw that BC188 card but I have bought 2 already that didn't work. One was the cheapy Chinese card and another was out of Canada not sure what that is but probably just another generic one.

    I guess trying another $20-$30 card is cheaper then buying a $200-$300 laptop ------- LOL
    Thanks
    I started a new thread on laptops that are known to work with the Chinese card as I dont want to hijack this how to sorry I guess I should have just started a new one in the beginning --------- http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-152/what_laptops_are_working_for_flashing-840599/#5068677

    The BC188 card worked right off the bat with the Via Drivers except for the lite-on you need to use the Uniata as described :) Thanks

    I have an HP G60 Notebook PC. I don't know too much about the hardware described above but, I have flashed an Xbox 360 using ONLY a sata to esata cable and a esata to usb adapter. I put the hitachi in mode b and my laptop picked it up. I used jungle flasher and it worked. HAHAHAHAHAHa
