Hello guys, first of all, amazing work you've done.
Now, I'm wondering something (this is like a special request lol). I have an external (generic, Vumerang external enclosure for SATA drives is says) USB enclosure with a 3.5" 160GB SATA HD (it needs to be connected to an external power source besides the USB cable).
However, no matter what I do, I can get it recognized by any USB Loader and any cIOS version. In fact (and TBH) I think I've tested this drive since the first waninkoko cIOS's lol... doesn't matter if I reformat it as FAT32, NTFS, WBFS. I've also tried the Hermes cIOS without luck.
Of course, the enclosure works perfectly with any PC and, here's the interesting part, it
works just fine with WiiMC, the drive gets recognized instantly and I can watch videos without any issue (I'm on FAT32 right now).
I've used a USB ID software to get the USB HDD ID number, don't know if it could be of any use:
Code:
USBSTORÂÂ0:ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ USB\VID_152D&PID_23386190414B812
USBDISKÂÂ1:ÂÂÂÂ---ÂÂUSBSTOR\Disk&Ven_ExcelSto&Prod_r_Technology_J81&Rev_ABEA6190414B812&0
Device Name: +[G:]+Dispositivo de almacenamiento USB(ExcelSto r Technology J81 USB Device)
PnP Device ID: VID = 152D PID = 2338
Serial Number: 06190414B812
Revision: ABEA
Device Type: Standard USB device - USB2.0 High-Speed
Chip Vendor: JMicron
Chip Part-Number: JM20337
Product Vendor: ExcelSto
Product Model: Hi-Speed USB to SATA & PATA Combo Bridge
Wondering, if there's any chance to get this working...
You know, I don't want to enter in any details, but I recently bought another enclosure for the drive, and that one worked 'fine' with any USB Loader, but it was a pain to get it working fine with my PC and had some trouble with the power source and the Wii (I made a thread about it lol), so decided to switch back to the old one I have. I don't want to spend more on another (and more expensive) enclosure, if there's a way to get this one working.
So, thanks a lot for your help and if you need more data, just tell me.
BTW, and on a side note, I have other external HDD (2.5") and flash memories, and all of them work without any problems thanks to this cIOS. Again, really great job.
