Hugo bought one of these from Maplins yesterday and I already can't figure out how we used to get by without it. 29 quid including 2.5in adaptor. It's just a shame they don't seem to make a SCSI one.

I got a similar device from newegg. Definitely a great thing to have lying around!

You can get a cheaper one from eBuyer but it doesn't come with a 2.5in adapter.

I've just seen that one in the window of the Maplins store over the road from work, although I don't remember the price.

Looks like it's £29.99 as well? Pot luck whether you get one that looks like the one I've linked or the one Peter linked?

Just found this . A friend of mine also has one with a centronics connector on instead of a d-type.
