Ok, I've been resisting taking this list too far off
topic, but please indulge this lurker:
One of my very recent acquisitions was this (with
rebates too!):
http://www.seagate.com/products/retail/portable/
The thought was to pull this apart, stick the 100 gb
drive into my T41p (Thinkad link) and then I'd have a
nice metal USB case plus a ton of disk space.
However, the engineers at Seagate were too clever.
The case uses a new-fangled fastener - a secure Torx
fastener with 5 lobes. The fastener looks to be
something like a T5 or T6 size. Getting the drivers
is difficult because of license limitations to OEMs or
authorized service personel.
Does anyone know of a cheap source for these seemingly
scarce tools? I just want to take my case apart. I
don't want to destroy the case or the holes. It's
well made and powered entirely through two USB 2.0
ports.
Thanks,
Mitchell
