I third the request. I had a couple of stores that I called to try and get
it, but I have had no luck.
To stop the flow of requests that may come into me, here is one of the
stores that supposedly has this magical adapter:
Micro Sense, Inc.
370 Andrew Ave.
Leucadia, CA 92024
800-544-4252
Just ask them for a 2.5"->standard IDE connector for a thinkpad hard drive.
I believe it was less that $20. If someone actually can get through to
these guys, can you post the manufacturer of the part and the part number?
I called the store a few months ago, and asked them who made it. They
wouldn't give me the manufacturer, and would only say 'Oh, it's somebody up
the coast.' I have been searching for this holy grail for a while.
Be warned, there is an external adapter that they may try to sell you.
While the internal costs about $20, the external costs about $200. If
someone already has an internal adapter, please send me the manufacturer and
part number.
