Yep, just like any ATA-USB bridge. That's all this device is, it's just a nifty standalone bridge. Just like you'd find inside one of those cheap USB HD cases, just without the case. They're widely available, I don't have any links but I've seen them for sale any number of places on the web. What I haven't seen is a similar firewire device, now _that_ would be a bit more interesting. dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
