Hi everyone -
Well, now I've done it. In the process of moving I lost the power supply to my old 250gb V1 Porsche drive. The problem is this early FW400 version used a small-pin plug for power as opposed to the 4-pin that all the LaCies use now. This power supply has been discontinued, leaving me with a huge music library and no way to turn on the drive to get it off the thing!
I'm wondering if it's possible to buy a new enclosure and switch out the hard drives? I know very little about enclosures, if they include the power assemblies and type-depending, could accept the drive from my LaCie.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
