I have the same case with a 20G Travelstar. Finally purchased a power supply from Radio Shack so the drive would quit spinning down when it should be running. Also, with external power it can be used to boot my TiBook.
Also should have kept the Newer Firewire2Go card so the drive and digital camcorder could be used at the same time. > Just got a 40G IBM Travelstar from newegg along with a USB 1.1/FW 2.5 > enclosure from computergeeks.com for around 200 total (150 HD, 50 > case). The case description mentions that it needs a PS/2 -> power > adapter when using FW, but I figured they were thinking PC notebooks > which typically have the 4-pin no-power carrying FW port not the > 6-pin power carrying port that apples have and turns out I guessed > right, the case does work as self powered when used with my TiBook. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
