I have 3.5" and the 2.5" adapters made by 2002 PC Engines.  Quality 
is awesome.  I only have couple comments:  2.5" CF adapter design 
(CFDISK.2D).  Two complaints: mine uses 90 deg 44pin IDE on wrong 
side so doesn't fit well in notebook IDE trays, should had been 
reversed (physically and electrically) 44 pin connector to other side 
and use of stand offs via old style and new style 2.5" mounting 
patterns.  These only use newer mountings pattern.  There is plenty 
of older notebooks with old mounting pattern.

Oh, don't try to use these adapters in older thinkpads.  Too dumb 
bios hd detection, doesn't work.  And no provisions to allow custom 
settings input into CMOS settings.

Cheers, Wizard
