Hello,

I am interested in hearing about experiences with the hardware
compression board DoubleUp (I think this the name) from Sigma
Designs. I am considering a 45Mb removable Syquest drive and
noticed an offer from MacProducts (?) for a Magic 45R bundled
with said board and DiskDoubler.

Has anyone bought and/or used this? Will the compression board work
with multiple drives (e.g., my internal 80Mb)?

If I receive enough replies, I'll summarize and post...

Thanks,

Steven
