Does anyone know of a good source for adapters for 1.8" IDE drive connectors? My Fujitsu 1510 has one of these tiny things. Apparently it's the same drive that the iPod uses.

Solid state adapter, Is there such a thing?
Re: 1.8" afapters?
I believe 1.8" drives and CF cards use the same 50-pin ZIF socket. Pull out the disk and check - it should match the CF card. The two should be entirely compatible, and the socket for the 1.8" drive should fit the 'rails' along the edges of the CF and hold it secure enough that it doesn't need to be fixed in with screws etc.mdd wrote:Does anyone know of a good source for adapters for 1.8" IDE drive connectors?

Earlier 1.8" drives used the same connector as 2.5" drives, but they were too low capacity to find in laptops so it probably isn't one of those.
