muzza Pooh-Bah Registered: 21/07/1999 Posts: 1765 Loc: Brisbane, Queensland, Australi...	does anyone know where I can find any info on plug in adapters for firewire to atapi? I've found external boxes and chassis for firewire drives but not these little jems. I'd heard that they're good for CD burners. _________________________ -- Murray I What part of 'no' don't you understand? Is it the 'N', or the 'Zero'?

Apparently there is a board with an IDE connector on one side and a firewire connecotr on the other and a bit of circuitry in the middle. That's all I want.

Unfortunately it seems that you can't get the bridge boards used in these cases separately. I went with the ADS cases in the end. Whch was worth it, as they're very well built.

Phoenix42 veteran Registered: 21/03/2002 Posts: 1424 Loc: MA but Irish born	David, in you travels did you come accross a multiple drive version? something that would hold say one HDD and one CD or any number of IDE devices? I saw that ADS had an IDE raid version with two drives in raid 1 or 0 (just noticed it's software based raid). So this does give me the impression that it would be possible to - of course one could just daisy-chain several of the standard ones to achive what I am asking about.

David addict Registered: 05/05/2000 Posts: 623 Loc: Cambridge	I've not seen any dual-drive case kits - I tried hooking two drives into one of the single-drive units, but the controller didn't seem to support slave devices.
