There is a unit they sell at Geeks.com that has 4 USB 2.0 ports that go
in a drive bay slot and use the drive's power connector. I have it in
my Smurf and the 4 ports just fit in the fascia slot for the old Zip
drive. I had to install it upside-down to get the perfect vertical
alignment - no big deal. Especially considering the $6.99 it cost. Of
course, you need a USB2.0 card to plug the internal connector into,
which I already had.

Thats what I remember. Don't seem to be many around (out of stock),
and I ran across this "not working under 10.5" article:

They look really nice: USB2, FW, other, Front Panel including the PCI
card for connectivity. Kits for QS and one for MDD.
Still searching ... any experience using one? or similar?
