Hi Guys,
I have seen USB "housings," that look like an eide case, for sale for about
$30 that you can put eide drives into. So what I'm asking is; do you get
one of them in case you have an old burner, or hard drive laying around ,
plug the drive into the case, and it bridges the ide 40 pin cable to the 4
or 6 pin usb port? Then you have in effect, an external USB device. Is
this what's going on?
And if it is, will it work on an iMac?
