Unfortunately the cheapest genuine IBM Ultrabay 2000 HD adapters that I've been able to get was $18 (used; shipped). The one that Tom pointed out, and most of the others currently on eBay, are knockoffs. The imitations generally have a hole in the plastic (looking) bottom, whereas the genuine IBM adapter has a solid metal tray. Also, on top of the "tab" that sticks out on the right side, the knockoffs will say "for IBM".

Ray,

Thanks for the explanation, if i cannot find an used original adapter i will get the one from ebay.

Does anyone knows if there is one that supports SATA drives?
