I have a 20 gig of this drive on the way (The 8 meg buffer model) and
I'll let the list know how things go. BTW, is there any web site that
shows where the reed switch is on the Wallstreet's so that I can avoid
the whole 'sleeping' issue from the get-go.
I'll also be adding more memory and I'll see if my machine sees it.
They will be both the same speed which near as I can tell should work
even is it's undocumented that you can add more than 192megs.
On a side note, since the next thing I'll be getting is a wireless
card, has anyone seen an Airpost compatable PCMCIA card that ALSO
supports Bluetooth at the same time?
