Actually, there is. The HD in a PB100 can be up to 17mm thick, and since SCSI-IDE converters are 5mm thick and modern notebook drives are 9.5mm thick, such a combo should work just fine. > Realistically the best you might find is an older IBM 540; the blurb below > mentions 1 gb but I think that's referring to powerbook drives in general > of the time of the FAQ; Ive not heard of anything that big in 2.5" SCSI, > and am not sure it was ever made.
