[NTLUG:Discuss] IDE/SATA to USB cables

[agoats at compuserve.com]

I've been using diablotek for a while now and actually have 2.  Works 
great with 2.5, 3.5 and 5 inch IDE devices (hard drives, Zip drives, DVD 
Burners) and with the adapters, a 1TB hard drive. It also came with a 
power supply and adapters so I can run virtually any drive externally.
