[Thinkpad] 2.5in enclosures redux

[David Lee]

> How much did that unit cost?

In the UK, the USB 2.0 version can be had for 19.95 UKP and the
combined USB 2.0/Firewire version for 34.95 UKP from:

Whilst looking to see what enclosures are available, I came across 2
US sites selling them. Cooler Express have them listed at $19.95 and
$39.95:

and Cool Drives have them for $29.98 and $59.98 respectively:

Just to confirm that I remain very pleased with the performance. The
only negative is that I cannot get it to function in DOS. However,
this seems pretty much par for the course:

(Currently going through a whole bunch of different drivers trying to
get it to work, but prognosis is poor. However, it's not marketed as
DOS compatible and does everything it says on the tin, so far
flawlessly.)
