Laptop recovery question

[Ednetman]

About a 2 years ago I worked with this guy who had nify device that I would like to add to my toolkit. It was a PCMCIA card that you would slide in to the side of a laptop, then you could plug the other end in to your desktop machine. You were then able to see the HDD and recover data. Has anyone seen anyhing like this? Can you send me a link to a web page where I can purchase this device? His was PCMCIA to IDE, but USB would be fine too.

Thanks in advance,

Ed

How about "PC-Anywhere" and connecting cables (serial, parallel, or USB)? Used to do it this way before LAN became so cheap.

I use the techw0rm boot disks for direct serial connection. I am looking for this device because you can read the contents of a hard drive that won't boot up anymore. This also kept you from having to remove the drive. Anybody seen one of these?
