Hi All; Has anyone found an adapter that will connect a PCMCIA Hard Drive
(type II) to a USB port?

Thanks Jack


Are you trying to connect one of those hard drives that is normally
inserted in a Type II slot, but wnat to connect to a USB port?

or

You have computer with a Type II slot and need a USB port?


What I need to do is read from a PCMCIA drive to USB on a desk top. Can both
type II and III drives be read by the same device?

Frys, in California, sell them, for about $25 or so. Ebay sells them
also for about $15 and up

Here is a single example

them self determination under "play nice" rules.

for torturing the cat." Gunner
