Yup, that is what I am finding...  In a perfect world, I'd like to find
an empty 2.5" external Firewire/USB2.0 enclosure that *also* has an
internal battery pack and MP3/Ogg playback.  Then I could put in a 20GB
laptop HDD, use it for backups, plus also have it scan for my OGG/MP3's
and play them while I am out in the yard!

Anyone know of something like that?  The closest I have found are in the
$200+ range -- I'm looking for something that will be in the $100-$150
range with a 20GB HDD.
