Which reminds me:  I didn't think to give the particulars of my IDE --> USB 
interface.  It's made by TDK and is described as "TDK OEM 5.25" USB 
2.0/Firewire 1394 Combo External Enclosure For optical DVD drive.  Good for 
any optical DVD drives and hard drives."  I procured it from meritline.com 
and lucked out... getting it during the final couple days of their Easter 
sale for a cost of $22.99 (regularly $45.00, I think it was).
