Windows 10: Imation SuperDisk LS120 USB - how to install?

Hi,


I have just bought an Imation SuperDisk Drive LS120 (SD-USB-M), originally a Mac drive, on eBay since I have an old LS120 disk I need to access, but when I plug it on


- my Surface Book 2 with Windows 10 version 1803 build 17134.165 it won't recognize it. On my device manager, it shows up as an "unknown USB device" with a problem. If I double click it the following message comes up: "device descriptor request failed."


- an older Lenovo G70 running Windows 8, the device shows up on Device Manager as an ATAPI USB storage device with a problem. If I double-click on the device, it says: "This device cannot start (code 10)."


On the Lenovo, I tried to force install the driver for Imation - SuperDisk LS120 - authenticated, and -not, and for a minute or two it shows the device in the list of USB devices in Device Manager. Still, the device remains invisible in the file browser and after a bit it in the device manager it shows again the same problem "This device cannot start (code 10)."


Is there a way to make it work or do I have to find Mac to connect it to?


Thanks.

:)
