The auction also tells "You will need an adapter to convert the 1200 internal 2.5" IDE to 3.5" which is not included. The basic function of this was to dangle the male end out of the back of the 1200 case, and connect a regular IDE cable to an external box with the drive's in."
So if you buy this one then you still need an adapter. I used to have a typical ide cable with one 2,5" end that connected to the 2,5" motherboard ide controller, and the 2 other connectors were standard 3,5". Have used it for years with two harddrives, one inside and the other outside :lol:
