Otherwise, it won't fit, which is the sad case for all of the other IDE to CF adapters I've searched for before. I did ask. They didn't tell me and said it fits a 'standard' 2.5 slot whatever that is. That isn't good enough to tell. There's standard 12mm high 2.5 HD slots and drives, as well as 9.5mm HD slots and drives. Most big laptops come with 12mm high slots, although lately, many of the latest have been slimming down. = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Hmmm..since they won't tell me I'll email their sales and tell them I won't order one until they tell me the height.VBG The thing about it is these PCMCIA to IDE adapters aren't too complex. They are just a board with a logic chip and two connectors. The thickness of the board and connectors should easily be under 9.5 mm. If it is too thick that means they made the housing too high. remove the board from the housing and it might fit in just fine if it was stuck in a 9.5 mm housing.

You can buy up to 2GB models today at www.buy.com and they will work just like regular IDE HDs in the Librettos. Those are too expensive plus they are only 2 gig. I did get the specs on the adtron 2.5 adapter and it is 9.6 mm.

Well this is what MagicRam told me about the size of the adapter without telling me anything specific about the size. Forwarded message: It should fit.

I am interested in replacing the 2.5 inch 9.5 mm hard drive in my Toshiba Libretto with one so I can use PC Card hard drives until compact flash capacity gets great enough so I can use those. Mainly I need it for shock resistance so my hard drive doesn't get messed up from impact. Workable or not?
