Mostly I'm interested in how they did it. I thought it wasn't possible to hook a high density drive to the GS port, something to do with the SmartPort interface chip (or we would have been able to put Mac 1.44 MB drives on it)? Did they do it with hardware hacking or a new 3.5 driver? How compatible is it? Anyone have any advance info on this? The ad in the latest A+/Macsider wasn't too descriptive or informative.
