I have a 2.5" EIDE to 40-pin EIDE adapter I bought from a PC-oriented 
place.

This I use in my Beige to initialize and test drives before they are 
installed in a PowerBook.

I also use this same device to recover any data on a "used" PowerBook 
before I completely "wash" the drive in preparation for reuse.

Usually, I will initialize a drive with the test and "write zeros" 
options turned on, thereby giving me a completely clean, and error-free 
drive.

Thereafter, I install the drive in the PowerBook.
