Could you please give some more details? My DVD drive has a little
adapter at the back of the drive, plugged on the IDE port. The IDE port
itself is a small centronics like interface. Is this common for all
slim line drives? It would also be interesting to know if there is a
source for the adapter and the frame for the Ultrabay.

Tino
