I didn't want to fool with the near -unobtainium-ness of the media
here in the US. The original 3" drive was relocated to an external
drive box that hooks to a PC. If I get the CF media, I can simply
copy it over to 3.5". The 3" drives aren't the most reliable in
the world; they often fall prey to disintegrating drive belts.
