What is it?

The CompuCable FireXpress 250 External Hard Drive Conversion Kit is exactly that; it allows you to take a spare 2.5" IDE hard drive (perhaps left over from a upgrade of your PowerBook's internal drive) and convert it to a portable external hard drive. The "conversion" time takes about 10 minutes and the kit comes with a fully illustrated 32-page user manual that clearly details each step of the process. The kit is compatible with any FireWire-equipped Macintosh or PC.

You'll receive a brand new product in the original factory box. The box is well padded and includes the enclosure, a five foot high-quality FireWire cable, user's manual (including drivers necessary for older Mac OS users), a nice padded carrying case for when you take your FireXpress on the road, and a auxillary power adapter for FireWire ports that don't provide power such as add-on PC Cards.

The enclosure is semi-translucent charcoal color that complements the look of any Macintosh, old or new. It has two rubber slide-on bumpers on each end to cushion the unit during travel. There is a status LED in the front left of the unit that indicates if the drive is operational.

Does it have an Oxford 911 chip?

Yes, this enclosure does use the super-fast Oxford 911 chip. It's the fastest "bridge chip" out there--the chip that converts, in effect, the FireWire bus to the IDE connector inside the enclosure. For more information on the Oxford 911 chip and the company behind it, read this article at MacObserver.

Receipts? Warranty? Returns?

We'll include an itemized receipt with your order and we personally guarantee each purchaser's satisfaction on top of the 1 year limited warranty offered byCompuCable. If you have any problem at all, we'll take it back, replace it, and/or refund your money--no questions asked. We also can take purchase orders. Please email for details.

What About Technical Support?

In addition to the 32-page users manual, which includes simple installation instructions for Macintosh and Windows-based systems and a troubleshooting guide, CompuCable offers full technical support via email and telephone. Details on getting support are in the user's manual.
