IDE to Compactflash adaptor

[Cyberus]

I remember a while back, someone posted a link to a supplier in the UK who sold these babies for about 30-40 quid. Trouble is, my winblows machine had to have the Windoze reinstalled, so all my book marks etc are on a friends machine, whose HD I used to back up mine.
I've done a search through posts here and google to no avail - any ideas?

The same people also put these adaptors on ebay you might even be able to get one a bit cheaper. :-)

Ah, thanks again! Checked out ebay...
I need the one that uses a HD power connector right?
I don't understand why they have ones that use a FDD connector, am I missing something?

Cheers

If I remember correctly, there are variants for a 2.5"-style HD cable and for a 3.5"-style HD cable. The latter variant needs an extra power cable.

This is the site of an Australian company that I have dealt with and am confident to recommend.  I've got the 2nd last one of these in my A600 with a SanDisk flash card - it's very good.  

I don't know how much the postage will be but the Australian dollar price works out to just less than 17 pounds.
