Possible ZIF to 1.8" IDE adapter! 100GB iriver H140?
Davide-NYC:
Take a look at this adapter: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10887
This would be great if it a) worked and b) fit.
Anyone have a ZIF drive and a 50 pin device laying around?
I would be very happy to stuff a 100GB HD into my iRiver H140.
LambdaCalculus:
Hey Davide! Haven't seen ya around in a while! ;)
My sister gave me her old 4G iPod color after she got a new 80GB Classic. That uses a 50-pin connector; sadly, I have no extra ZIF hard drives.
If you want, we can use it as a guinea pig (personally, she doesn't want it back). Wanna get together with Nick and have us a beer/hardware hacking night?
scharkalvin:
You could also combine that with a 50pin to CF adapter (if it fits) and stuff a 32GB CF card in the H140. The combined length of all might be less than that of the disk.
Davide-NYC:
@LambdaCalculus379: If either of us get their hands on a ZIF HD I'll order the adapter and we'll see what can be done!
@scharkalvin: I think you're confused a bit about what plugs into what. See photos again. ;)

I've got the 120GB Samsung ZIF drive lying around....
...when I say "lying around" I actually mean, chucked into that white iPod Video I got from eBay!
Hmmmm, after getting round to looking at the adapter, I'm wondering whether there would be enough space for that AND the drive within the casing? It looks like this would increase the "height" too far to fit nicely.
