If you mean the Protege, which they put together themsleves, I was very interested in this drive. It is only about 10% more expensive than a generic Quantum, and more portable than most. The reason I didn't go for it only runs on 110V. This is a major omission in a portable drive. -- Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu
