I doubt this very much. Apple already buys from Quantum and Connors. Quantum
has a 105MB unit that would do nicely. Connors would probably be the pick,
though- they're a bit slower, but consume less power. Theirs is 100MB.

Anyway, it really doesn't matter much. MicroNet (and probably others) will
have a bigger disk available the day it's announced. This is not privy info,
it's just common sense and experience speaking.
