  I recently went out and bought myself an A500.  One of the first things
that I've discovered is that I doubt I'll be able to live with only the
internal disc drive (talk about a pain!..insert disc, insert disc....).  I
took a look at the external drive connector and waddya know, it's pin for
pin compatable with the connector on the back of the SONY MP-F73W-50 1 MB 
drive.  It seems to me that I should be able to just hook a cable up to one
of these pups and I'll be cookin' with Crisco (tm).  Does anybody have any
experience with this sort of thing?  Is it REALLY that easy?

  Thanks,

        glen
