I made a male to male PCB adaptor for connecting a 3.5" HD to regular notebook IDE socket. I tested on Sunday and found out that you could use 2 pcs of hard drives (3.5" or 2.5", one slave and one master) on your notebook.

Note that this is different from regular converter that lets you use 2.5" harddrive on the standard 3 connector IDE cable.
This converter gives several DIY options:
1. It gives one the option to run their NB on faster and larger 3.5" HD if needed, e.g. video editing
--- defeat the major bottleneck for NB
2. It gives a faster way to do complete imaging backup using GHOST or other image copying software

Here is the web page I set up for this item:
