Need advise on IDE to USB solution

[rayon]

Hi there,

Have anybody here ever bought a IDE-to-USB solution?! I was thinking about buying some external storage solution and I need at least 2GB. I already have this IDE drive lying around. Zip250 is too little, Jaz is too expensive, ORB sucks big time. So now I'm thinking about this IDE-to-USB stuff.

Any reviews or advices on that?

Thanks,

Rayon(r)

people have been looking for such an enclosure for a while... not much has come up...

i estimate such a kit to cost up to $100 US.

Yes, I know. I could come up with about 3 IDE-to-USB kits, but I know nothing about quality and performance of those. I wonder if anyone here has experience with such kits.

Anyone has experience with one of these?
