[tech] Mini IDE converter

[Andrew Adamson]

Hi All,

I have an old 2.5" miniature IDE/PATA laptop drive that I need to get some 
data off. Does anybody have an adapter floating around that I could borrow 
and will allow me to read it? 

Anything that can convert to full-sized IDE, SATA or USB should do. A 
compact flash reader would probably do the trick too, but I'm unsure if 
all CF readers can supply enough current for a spinning disk.

Thanks :)
