Since nobody else answered the actual question. (although there were a lot of interesting suggestions. ;-) I'll try. What you are thinking about is the Apricorn EZ-Gig. Its a PCMCIA IDE adapter and software designed to move the contents of your current drive to your new, Apricorn, drive. I first encountered these when purchasing a new drive for a Fujitsu Lifebook. It uses a thin (9mm high) drive. Most generic laptop drives are 12-15 mm high. Apricorn sells many drives pacakged for particular makes. They also sell the Ez gig as convienent way to move the data between machines. That said it runs about $100 at CDW.
