        Hi.
        I don't even know if the master/slave or cable select standards
we know in 3.5" disks are implemented in 2.5" disks, and also you should
know how to condition the disks.
        As alternative:
        -Drop files to a parallel port device, such as a Zip.
        -Get a parallel port box with interface to a 2.5" disk. They are
very cheap. Install it with the 2 GB in it, and drop your files from 1 GB
to 2 GB.
        But perhaps the cable and the info exist. What exists is a cable
for interfacing 40 pin IDE 3.5" interface to that in a 2.5", so you can
do the work in a common PC, using its two IDE's.

  Starting point:        (-1)^(-1) = -1
  Applying logarithms: (-1)*ln(-1) = ln(-1)
  Since ln(-1) <> 0, dividing:  -1 = 1     (ln(-1) is complex, but exists)
