Note that the drive (and media) has lower data storage capacity than many of the competing 5-1/4" drives (200MB vs. 400MB per side) and only single-sided media has been announced so far (I may be wrong on this second point). The priciing of the drive itself is just slightly higher than the competition (based on quantity 1). Question: Does the drive have a SCSI interface? ... and is it a fairly conventional implementation?
