I have an Iomega 250 MB zip drive in my desktop machine that I want to try to rig to work with my laptop. Is there any way to do this?

you need an external enclosure. something like this:

But does anyone know how to rig it DIY? I'd rather build an enclosure and do the circuitry myself. I can't imaging it being too difficult.

if you find a really simple way to convert ide to USB 2.0 and a power converter.... then yeah its not too difficult.
