It would seem that good things come in two, this was proven yet again by the Postman who had delivered my two latest toys. These are the IDE to USB 2.0 adapter
and my USB 2.0 laptop hard-drive case
These Hong-Kong arrivals allow me to safely transport my 80 gig laptop drive, which has been "creatively" dubbed as the "Movie Drive". I am especially happy about this case as it does not require any external power, instead leeching off the needed power from my USB port which makes that much practical to use when I am on the road.
The IDE to USB is a welcome arrival as well, as it will finally let me make use (I don't know what for yet, but that does not matter
) the various IDE drives I got lying around the house/office.
