It all started withe me blowing up a IDE 2.5 inch external case with firewire, USB and external power. I realize I came to depend on this case. It's so convenient if you tinker with lots of powerbooks and iBooks with IDE discs. I can't find a replacement on the second hand market. Lots of cases with only USB and no power supply but I want a case with all of the functionality of my old case.
My question: does anyone know of a place where they sell such cases? So with IDE, 2.5 inch, USB, FireWire and some kind of power supply. Preferably in Europe or a reseller that doesn't charge absurd amounts of money for postage and packaging?
In fact I bought a USB case with IDE but without a power supply. It does show up on my Mac Mini G4 but not on my Ibook clamshell (no firewire). I even tried a USB hub with power supply for the external case but no dice.
Help is very much appreciated.
