[Thinkpad] 2.5" to 3.5" HD adaptors

JR:

subj. was: Re: How to hook up a hard drive from a thinkpad to a desktop?

All 2.5" laptop drives use the same miniature 44-pin IDE connector.
The $4 adaptor listed below converts that laptop connector to the
standard 40-pin IDE connector. I've done this many times, and
it works transparently. I've even used it to permanently install
a 1GB 2.5" laptop drive into my Linux router box (under construction)
to take advantage of the drive's auto power-down feature, to minimize
power consumption.

Good Luck.
