has anyone ever heard of a way to manufacture an adapter that would allow me to connect a 3.5" hard drive to a memory stick pro duo?
before you start flaming about power issues, the hard drive is being run off a 12V, 12AH sealed lead acid battery... i just need a way to transfer the data between the device and hard drive... perhaps an ide controller?
Well yes, it's called a PC, put a 3.5 drive in it and a card reader, and it allows you to transfer all the data you want :D :D
Joking aside, why would you need to be able to transfer the data directly like that?

It's going to take more than an IDE controller. In order to transfer files, something in the chain has to have a microprocessor and understand file systems. While it is possible to copy camera memory cards to a portable harddrive device, that device usually is a mini-computer (some hardrive based MP3 players do this) by acting as a USB host -- the memory card is the USB slave.
doh!
My Creative MP3 players has a 1.5GB Micro drive and I connect the MP3 via USB and it shows as a mass storage device although if the processor part wasn't working who knows what would happen.
Strangely when I was having issues after spilling diet coke on it l used GDISK32 to wipe the hard drive and it gave me the following messages:
Disk has overlapping drives
Disk has partitions that extend past the end of the disk
After finishing GDISK32 I rebooted into the players recovery console and selected the format option followed by clean up.
Reconnected to PC and ran GDISK32 /status to see what was on the MuVo2 hard disk.
It reckons it has 4 partitions with one being active but the usage % were totally out of wack eg 49748% for one drive.
Presumably Creative uses some form of proprietry disk managament ?
