To get specific with part numbers... Acard makes the Acard 7720 in a few varieties. In this case you'd want the 7720U probably for its narrow interface (7720UW has 68 pin interface and there are LVDS flavors as well). This has a narrow (50 pin) single ended SCSI interface on the upstream side and a regular 3.5" IDE (as opposed to notebook drive) interface on the downstream side. It retails for about $70, but there's a fellow selling a boat-load of used ones on Ebay for $30 each. I have some new ones I'm selling for $39 which include the little power splitter/adapter and a nice instruction sheet. :-) Once you have the 7720U, you have two directions you can go. Go as you planned and get any of the inexpensive IDE<=>CF Card adapters, which typically cost well under $10. Geeks.com has an assortment for $5 each with a dual CF card adapter for $7.50 in their "controllers/adapters" section. The other direction you could go is to get a 2.5" to 3.5" drive adapter for about $5 (again at geeks.com, there's a cheaper one, but the $5 one comes with rails as well as circuit board) and add any of the 2.5" IDE hard drives you can find littering the ground. There can be gotchas depending on your equipment. One resourceful fellow in Australia used an IDE to CF card adapter in the PowerBook 150, IIRC, only to find that the IDE in the PB150 interpreted the device ID of CF improperly (built before or around time spec was finalized) and would not recognize it. His solution was to build an adapter board to recognize and intercept the ID transaction and then let all other transactions pass. As I mentioned, a resourceful fellow. The point being, there are possible compatibility problems depending on the equipment being used. Jeff Walther
