Proprietary hard drive interfaces

[Michael Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]

Does anyone have a handy source for proprietary hard drive connections or 
interfaces?

While I have 2.5" to 3.5" drive adaptors, I note that I'm often running 
into laptops with proprietary interfaces. While some can be easily removed, 
others are more permanently attached - like, say, glued on - and avoiding 
damage is always ideal.

In most cases, I'm able to work around it via other interfaces (USB, etc.), 
but things would be speedier if I could connect via IDE. Any ideas on where 
to acquire such stuff?

Googling for 'em and the archives haven't turned up much, but perhaps I 
just missed a good search term.

The only thing I can currently think of is cannibalizing dead drives / 
machines and building 'em for myself.

Thanks in advance.
