external case for 1.8" PATA ZIF drives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707128

No guarantee, but it is the closest I could find.

I saw several of them a month ago on eBay for $5 or less each. Specifically stating will work for rev A MBA drives.

but for what do i have to look for? it seems that most of the cases only support hitachi or toshiba.. in the link below two customers are writing about the case, the one says its working for the 80gb ipod version, the other says it isnt for the 160gb due to missing drivers.. :confused:



Cons: Only comes with ZIF connectors for Hitachi and Toshiba drives! Essentially this is useless for the 160GB Samsung drive in my busted up iPod.
