"It's dead, Jim".

One interesting thing about ATDX controllers is: 1) they are designed for 
Apple-ROMed 2.5" EIDE drives, and probably won't work if a non-Apple-ROMed drive 
is substituted.

Another interesting thing is you do NOT have to reformat the drive to SCSI 
after having been formatted as EIDE ... unlike all those PCI EIDE/UATA cards do.

Finally, there is an 8 GB limit on these cards.

Oh, and, yes, MacOS 9.2.1's Drive Setup still has the ATDX controller/drive 
listed as a valid combination.
