While this is true, MicroDrives are much more expensive and limited in capacity than the 2.5" HDs the Datashuttle uses. What I was mainly wondering was whether this adapter (or similar ones) could now or eventually be able to work with these drivers to increase the Newton's expandability. This was the only description I got of the item, so I do not know the voltages. The biggest issue I thought would be whether it were Cardbus (not compatible with the Newton), which I googled and found out it was not. Has anyone tried something like this or similar to hook up a hard drive (not microdrive) to your Newton? Thanks!
