	He should be able to get a new drive for under $200....     
	The drive in the 1010 *may* also fit into the A500 case.  The
	only problem bight be if it is an older 1010 with the fat
	drives (too thick to fit in the A500).  The second problem with
	this is that the eject button won't stick out far enough to
	make disk ejection easy.  It's best to get a drive produced
	for the A500 if possible.

	Installation is easy, open case, remove RF shield, unscrew
	old drive (3 screws), remove power cable, remove data cable.
	Install in reverse.
