That'd be my guess, too.  Though that new Sony drive ain't exactly what I'd 
call cheap.  And it's slow, too, just a bit slower than the super-el-cheapo
discount 20 meg hard disks around these days for < $200.  Then again, if you
think of it as an expensive ~300 meg floppy disk, it's not a bad thing.  But
it's gonna need a real hard drive, methinks.
