re: Just curious
How are you adapting the SSD (I'm assuming SATA?) to IDE?

-> No, I bought a 32GB IDE SSD from TRANSCEND. They have a 32GB and 64GB Version.
-> There are very cheap IDE to SD Adapters. Ofcourse those solutions are not meant to be used as Notebook Harddisks. But I played with the idea of using two 16GB SD Cards and two of those adapters (I think about $4 each on ebay) in my empeg car. Such solution works fairly well on my old Archos MP3 Player (Which killed about one HD/Year, and is now broken itself..)

In short I dropped the idea, since I was not sure how well those apapters would cope with IDE standards. And the empeg might be a little more demanding than a simple MP3 player which only accesses them as simple fat32 storages. And in the end I could end up with 2SD Cards I currently don't have any use to.
-Sorry, kinda got carried away...
