-----------------------------------------
In my opinion a 2 GB hard drive is not worth the cost of the
adapter. In addition, the cheap adapters are prone to problems and
the high priced adapters cost more than the drive is worth.
And it has been dropped on the floor? I advise you to use it
as a doorstop and wait until you can get a larger hard drive. I have
been taking 2GB hard drives out of older macs and replacing them with
larger ones (9GB or more with 5 GB absolute minimum) for a couple of
years now.
