Hi.Well, I've never looked for one on play, but try a search, you might come up trumps. Play do sell most things computer related, but if your not lucky then try Amazon or dabs who have a considerably larger selection of items. Incidentally, the £36 freecom drive would be an external desktop drive, not a slimline model. I used to own one of those beasts and they certainly aren't portable, plus you'll use an external power lead to power this box, USB power simply isn't an option. Freecom only do the one slim external drive that's USB powered and that is above your budget if memory serves but I'll go check.
All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrien" <adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

No problem, I sent you a link to a model that Play sells, made by CNM. It uses two USB sockets on your netbook, one for power and one for data, negating the need for a separate AC mains connection. Its also under £50 and you'll have a fiver to spare. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrien" <adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 7:16 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Recommendations pleaseHi Usb preferably but possibly both.

Are you looking for something that's USB powered or willyoube able to access a mains socket? The reason I ask isthatthere are a number of models on the market, but the USBhostpowered models tend to be more expensive.
