To:Gurm,
I have US network adaptor and fitted perfectly on my maxtor harddisks and only I need a utility to format it
I don't know what you mean "the power plug is in the wrong place to put in an IDE drive, but 5 minutes with a soldering iron says otherwise" because the sockets position are standard.
anyway guys at ps2ownz.com are working on the utility and they got good result.
