We have an emergency situation at KBS for an important laptop and I was 
wondering if someone on MSUNAG has the hardware to help.  The Director 
of KBS has a Sony Vaio TT290 laptop that decided not to power up anymore 
on Friday morning.  We have been through the troubleshooting steps 
online, and I have called support and they decided it needs to be sent 
in for service.  Before we let go of the computer, we would like to make 
a copy of the hard disk and retrieve some recent files.  However, the 
120Gb hard disk has a Micro SATA interface. 

Does anyone have a USB to Micro SATA adapter or a Micro SATA to SATA 
adapter that has voltage regulation to provide the disk drive with 3.3v 
power instead of 5v or 12v power?  It would be worth a trip to campus 
for us if you had one.
