A reader wrote a letter in a recent issue of MacWorld stating he had built a FireWire enclosure for his (formerly) internal hard drive.
I have a 120 GB hard drive in my iMac that I don't want to give up when I sell it and purchase a Powerbook. Can anyone direct me to resources that give instructions for building an external FireWire hard drive with my 120 GB drive?
I looked for items on ebay that might help, and came up with this...am I on the right track?

Hi Larry,
That looks good. The Oxford bridge is well respected. You might plug "firewire oxford enclosure kit" into Google and see what comes up.
Good Luck,
Sue

Can you not buy an enclosure for the hard disk that uses firewire or is this way cheeper?

The Oxford chipset is one kind of FireWire bridge. The link is to an enclosure for a hard drive that uses FireWire. Oxford technology is usually a bit more expensive.
