I had tool bag I thought would make a good carrying case.
The left pocket holds the mouse, phone cord, and power cord.
The right pocket holds a zip drive and a laptop CDROM. Only one device is active at a time. A switch on the left of the zip control's which device is active.
The laptop CDROM.
A shot of the handmade cable. You can see the wires that will be used to attach to the switch in the left picture.
A shot from the side in the open position. You can see the IDE cable from the I-Opener to the pocket and the vent screen that allowed room for a cooling fan.
