Do readers know of any manufacturers including IBM drives in external USB 2.0 drive packages?

Thanks for any information.

worse comes to worst, you can buy the smallest one you can find and then just substitute whatever IDE drive you like. All they are is a housing and an IDE -> USB converter circuit board. Pretty simple stuff.

Thanks jlanka --

Are housings and IDE -> USB converter boards in the "mainstream" now (for me that means at my local Fry's store)?

I would also need a power supply and card for inside the case. Are those widely available, too?

I got my stuff at <A HREF="http://www.cititronics.com" target="_new">cititronics</A>. GREAT customer service. Good prices too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
