Well, you need Y cable that comes with most/all 2.5" IDE->USB enclosures. It has one mini-USB and two USB males, one for data and one for additional power (since 2.5" disk needs 1A for spinup). I already had one (bought elsewhere) but they got it too http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.310 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.669 Then there is usb female to female adapter (already had one too). http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2646 BTW the soshine 4xAAA gives really low power. Today I tried to connect XBOX gamepad and it didn't work. Then I tried to power it from 5V adapter and it worked OK so it was power issue. Sadly XBOX controller contains builtin USB hub for XBOX memory cards so it needs more power than simple mouse. And the hub cannot be disabled since the controller itself is connected to the hub as third device. Frantisek
