[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 693644, member: 56231"] May I add that you don't actually need an enclosure. I successfully and safely run two 'bare' drives to both my eMac and G3 b/w using an ATA(IDE)-USB adaptor (US$20) I cover the upper surface of the exposed drives with a paper tissue to keep out dust, and use a switchable power source to the adaptor. Oh, and you can make your own drive enclosure out of polystyrene if you wish. Post back (or PM me) if you want further instruction about How To. [/QUOTE]
