Nope, the dealer is just trying to sell you a GS! (We wouldn't might it,
though...):-)  UniDisk 3.5's work just fine with a GS, especially since the
"Unified" drive (I forget what the product name actual is) wasn't delivered
in prototype form to me when I original got my GS.  The only thing the new
drive really gives you is the ability to also use it on a Macintosh.  Also,
I believe the list price is lower.
