Yes,  I know I am replying to a reply, but the I missed the orig. and it is
long gone now.  Since CBM's official second internal drive kit contains a
Chinon FB354, I would certainly expect one to work.  I have ordered one from
a mail order house, but have yet to receive it.  At $85 though, it is a FAR
better price than ~$150 at my local dealer.
