There are two.

One is the Focus controller, which comes with the Focus hard drive
card.  According to Alltech's advertisements, the controller card
can drive any IDE drive (for example, the ones in the Vulcan)
with a standard notebook to 3.5" IDE cable.  The cheapest Focus
costs $59 and I don't think they sell it without the mechanism,
but you can buy one for the controller.

The other one is the MicroDrive TurboIDE card, an updated
version of the TurboIDE that now supports 2GB per partition
and 2 drives per card.  SHH Systeme of Germany makes them.
They can be found for doing a web search for their name.
