The device allows me to do all sorts of wonderful things in my business, esp. with laptops and cloning their hard disk drives. The unit I purchased is still available for $15 or less (not incl. shipping), depending on the version, over at The Geeks...www.geeks.com. They have lots of cables and gizmos.

Another alternative is to do like one creative user who used the shell of a second iBook if memory serves me right to permanently attach all this and a PC card reader to his Ibook. I believe that, he may have added a cooling fan as well to help keep the underside of the iBook cool, and to keep the hard drive cool. I've saw a lap top stand a while back that incorporated a drive bay for a laptop hard drive in addition to the fans for cooling the lap top. I believe this laptop stand may have included a USB Hub and some other options, but I could be wrong. I just don't like the cluttered area around the laptop especially when there is no room to spare.Keep up the great work.
