it is a setup issue, not a repair issue.
No software is involved.Try posting to an approrpiate newsgroup. If there's software involved,
a good place to start would be with a newsgroup for the particular
operating system you use.

As I already said:
The adapter works fine with a different drive (a standard hard drive,
not an optical one).
The new DVD burner works fine with a different SATA-USB adapter.
Both irrelevent.

Bullshit. Do you even know what software is?

Has the adapter in question *ever* worked with an optical drive? I don't
care if it works with hard drives. I don't care if optical drives have
worked with other adapters.
If not, it is most likely a setup issue or design issue. How the the
hell can you say it is in need of repair if you've never seen it work?

What the hell are you babbling about? You're saying there's no chipset
on the card at all? That's amazing! No software. Now, it's doesn't
have hardware either. wow! NO maker. No model. Too bad you didn't
mention what operating system you run; you could have been told how to
query the the USB bus and find out via a simple software query. Oh,
wait a minute. It one of those magic devices that has no software, not
even a single byte of firmware.
You continue the stunning behavior of not posting what make and model
you're talking about. You continue the stunning stupdity of believing
that all usb-sata adapters are identical. You can't be helped. You're
simply too stupid.
I'm through with you.
Go bank your head against a wall. It is all you are capable.
