Where in Toronto can I find a 3.5" IDE to CF card adaptor?
I'm working on a project and I need a 3.5" IDE to CF card adaptor, like this one. I usually get this sort of stuff from ebay, but I'm all out and I don't want to wait for shipping. Does anybody know a store where I can go and pick a few up for about the same price?
Please be specific, if you can. The last time I went looking for nick nacks like this around College and Spadina I was largely unsuccessful.

I'd try Supremetronic, which apparently relocated to the Home Hardware at 306 College Street.

Ya, I can't believe they moved to the Home Hardware, but anything that keeps them downtown is okay by me.
However, I don't think either Supremetronic or Active Surplus will be the right kind of place.. Canada Computers is probably a better bet, or Sonnam, they often have that kind of obscure computer item.
However however, I was thinking about doing a project with SSD using one of those adapters, so I have one lying around which I'd be happy to loan you for a few weeks while you get one delivered, or sell outright. Send me an email and we can talk.

Response by poster: Hey guys, thanks for the advice (and the offer!), but actually I was able to get one from a friend of mine yesterday, so I'm good for now. If anyone does know where to get one local though, please do post, I'd still really like to know.
