Would you be interested in a 1.3" IDE drive instead? There is a surplus outlet selling both 20 and 40MB HP Kiityhawk drives at $10 and $15, respectively. I think it mght have been http://www.allelec.com The connector on the drive is a standard notebook IDE. They also sell the notebook to 3.5" IDE adapter for $5. This drive is very small. I think you can power it up and down to save energy as well. I am not sure how robust they are but suspect they can handle reasonable shocks. I know they work as I have one on my desk right now. -- "Going down to South Park - going to leave my woes behind..." David W. Alderman dave@persprog.com
