koala007:
No, but due to a very good business connection I'm able to get them at a discount.
In the meantime I have claimed a fraud against him.
I have no answer back from PayPal yet.
In the meantime I have made a instruction manual for these fantastic ZIF / IDE adapter.

I just checked that out and found that the free option was available (as well as a faster "premium" option). The file download only took seconds with the free option.
Thanks, Peter, for making that instruction manual. Not knowing how to insert the ZIF connector properly, I broke a hard drive and had to order another one. (I shoved too hard.) Expensive mistake!
psycho_maniac:
working now. i know they have a free user option and a premium option. when i clicked the free user option they said they didnt have any more slots open for free users. now they do.

I've been using one for about 3 months now on a Samsung HS082HB 80GB in an X5. The part that fits into the zif connector is not a kapton or mylar flat printed circuit (like most zif cables), but appears to be ordinary FR4 fiberglass PCB material, just really really thin FR4. As such it appears quite fragile. So I put a dab of 5 minute epoxy on the adapter housing ends, just a tiny amount to give additional support, but not too much that I can't get it apart later if need be. And yes I can confirm that the overall length is the same as the old Toshibas.
