InnoStor IS611-based adapter errors -- what version firmware should be installed

[Kaos Engineer]

On the USB device support page,

https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices_idVendor-0x1000#idVendor0x1700

I see the following comment for a (NoName) InnoStor IS611-based adapter:

If IDE/PATA drives don't work (unsupported scsi opcode), try updating the firmware (a Google search for "IS611 firmware" will bring you a Windows utility to do that)

What version should the firmware be using a Google search for IS611 firmware?

I find only 1 download with version 0937 but after trying to upgrade the firmware, smartctl.exe still reports unsupported scsi opcode(s).

Version 0937
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it here, but if you search for "IS611" driver it should be the first result from station-drivers.com

Also I corrected something in the wiki page about IDE drives

My EYOOLD IDE and SATA adapter came with firmware 0930. I upgraded to 0937 using that utility. With both versions, trying to do anything with smartctl hung in Linux with a SATA drive. Adding -d sat gives the same result. I finally got smartctl to work using -d sat,12 with version 0937.

In Windows 10 I actually get smartctl -a information with -d sat and firmware 0937 after an unreasonably long wait at:
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART Status command failed: IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT failed, Error=121

If I use -d sat,12 then the long wait and error do not occur in Windows. I wonder, does -d sat work for some people? The wiki says to use either that or -d sat,12.
