Puppy II - the hardware
With something like this:
http://www.pcengines.ch/cflash.htm
instead of a HD we have a hardware based component for those Puppys who have no USB booting (but will of course have IDE support in their BIOS)
Now we need a magic paper monitor - a low power CPU (no overheating)
Puppy II Hardware - ideas? Thoughts?

MP3 PC project of mine
I've had an interest in using one of the 64 meg CF cards with an IDE to CF adaptor for a PC I'm building. I can find both 64 meg cf cards and IDE to CF adaptors on ebay pretty cheap and pretty abundant. I'm having a problem finding a 3.5" to 2.5" mount for the IDE to CF adaptor. The 3.5 to 2.5 mounts are usually to place a laptop HD in a regular PC. I should say I'm having a problem finding a 3.5 to 2.5 mount where the screws would go in the bottom of a laptop HD vs. the sides of a laptop HD. Anybody know where to find one?

Robert,
If you are still stuck, try here for a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE cable convertor. Look under 'Clearance items'. This is a UK based company.

Good luck!

robert,
Don't quite understand your need -- I've played a lot with this kind of stuff, and formal/official hardware mounting is usually rather superfluous -- what is your situation, that duct tape etc is not good enough?
Once you have dealt with thermal concerns, just prevent shorts and keep things from rattling around...

Gents thanks for the responses.

Look at it from this point of view. One can find a metal adaptor to mount a 3.5 floppy drive in a 5.25 bay.
One this example the screws would go into the sides on the 3.5 floppy drive.

This is a better example

This is an example of an adaptor where the screws go in the bottom of the floppy. This isn't a good picture. You have to look close to see where the screws would go in the bottom of the floppy.

Another way of looking at this would be a 2.5 to 3.5 metal adaptor to put a 2.5" laptop hard drive in a 3.5" bay. This adaptor would have to allow me to put the screws in from the bottom of the laptop hard drive.
I've looked around ebay and pricewatch with no luck. Any hlep would be appreciated.

Would this work...
although offering a little more functionality than you need, would this work...
