The Rocket133SB Host Adapter is a single-channel IDE controller card designed for use with ATA133 hard disk drives. This controller is similar to the Rocket133S model, but has its own EPROM (BIOS chip). The Rocket133SB supports high-speed transfer rates up to 133MB/s. It provides ATA single channel support up to 2 hard disk drives. The Rocket 133SB Host Adapter breaks the current interface standard's hard disk drive capacity limitations, and supports hard drives larger than 137GB.

...Rocket e-book is an electronic book reader used to read electronic books. Electronic books are books but are not written on paper. You have to read the books on your computer screen or on an electronic reader such as the Rocket e-book reader.
You can get loads of information on the electronic reader at http://www.Rocket-eBook.com.
I bought one online using a secure line with my credit card (Rocket eBook Pro) at Powells.com about two months ago.
Now I am in reading heaven.
I can download the electronic books from various online publishers right into my little reader. I found the e-reader extremely easy on the eyes, easy to use and it is even shaped like a paperback novel.
The instructions are quite simple to follow and most of the electronic books I've downloaded and read on the rocket book have been excellent.

Advantages: Size, battery life, colour screen Disadvantages: Memory (though I can "borrow" CF cards from work!), IR transfer is a bit iffy though this could be the software.
...I didn't intend buying a Pocket PC as I already had a pretty well spec'd laptop, though at times lugging around a bag weighing in at about 4Kg was a bit of a pain. I happened to walk past Dixons and noticed that they'd reduced the HP 525 by £100 to £199.99, seemed like a pretty good deal and not a massive amount to spend, so I splashed out. Turns out to be one of the best purchases I ever made. I couldv'e got the 548 from PC World for £300 but didn't see the point in paying the extra just for a bit more memory and a USB port connection. And the colour of the 525 matches my car!!
The HP uses the windows CE OS, which I personally prefer to the other PDA OS's, familiarity I suppose. It comes with MS Activesync to connect to your desktop and a copy of MS Outlook 2000, though I already had this installed. Once connected the Pocket PC...
