Hey dude,
Sorry, from your blurb Im not sure whether you mean that they dont work on PC's and work on laptops, or the opposite. Any way, Im using a IBM t41 laptop and I have 3 enclosures that all work (recommend the thermaltake muse) with no external power adapter. However, they all have a splitter cable which one end plugs into the casing of the external drive, and the other (forked) end has 2 usb connectors, one for each usb port in my laptop ie it takes 2 usb ports on my laptop (1 draws power, and the other is for data transfer). This works fine on both ac and battery and is plug and ply, like Kaz wants. The good thing about the theraltake case and cable is that the power usb connector has a double adapter that can also plug in my mouse! So even though it takes 2 usb ports for plug and play, it still has a space for a external mouse. Gotta run so hope this helps - cheers mate
