I need to find an adapter for this stupid HD-DVD drive from 2008. Sorry, this is before my time.

    50 pin jae connector, if it’s from 2008 that’s like the last batch before everything thankfully went sata. Its probably an IDE drive. Hopefully the discs won’t have disk rot.

      Many of my HD-DVD’s did have disc rot unfortunately. I have a sata HD-DVD/Blu-ray drive I was using to back them up a few years ago. The problem is, the drive no longer works with MakeMKV. The drive works great otherwise. I bought these discs and an HD-DVD player because I thought it was neat and I like collecting physical media. I have regretted buying an HD-DVD player ever since I tried watching a movie and it didn’t work.
