IDE to Secure Digital?
I know there are adapters that allow you to plug memory cards into an IDE
port. It's transparent to the operating system so it shows up as a drive in My Computer. Are there any that do the reverse? I'd like to take a small IDE or SATA drive and plug it into an SD slot.

IDE to Secure Digital?
I never said anything about power. I just need to convert the IDE port into
SD. The power is a separate thing and would be modified to run off something else. So, if you recommend a USB enclosure, then I would need USB to SD adapter if one exists, to plug the USB cable coming out of the enclosure into the SD slot of something else. What I have is a small video game system.. I'd modify into a different case and to use a larger LCD screen. It can be expanded with an SD card, but it would be nice to be able to use a small laptop hard drive instead.
