Title: Laptop optical drive housing?
Post by: motorollin on March 20, 2008, 02:54:42 PM

I've got a Pioneer laptop DVD-RW with an IDE converter plugged in to the back, and have found that it works when connected to the controller board inside a USB hard disk caddy. Though of course the drive doesn't actually fit inside the caddy. Does anyone know if a housing exists for laptop optical drives?

You mean something like this ? (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290215725386&ih=019&category=74949&ssPageName=STORE:PROMOBOX:NEWLIST)

EDIT: noticed the ebay shop doesn't exist anymore.
Found out the ebay seller set up an online webshop and
sells the same product.


Here's the link to Tiger111HK (http://www.tiger111hk.com/product_info.php?cPath=28_62_68&products_id=53)

EDIT 2: Ebay shop is open again. So the product is
available through Ebay and Tiger111HK.com. :-D
