Search for two inch hard drives; these drives are no longer
iPod-exclusive and are available for other applications. The original
iPod was a Type II PCMCIA form factor drive, although it had a
nonstandard interface. They're all IDE underneath.

The interface the iPod offers to the outside world has nothing to do
with the interface used internally.


Thanks,  that's good to know that it's just an IDE drive.
