A meta-comment: I've been watching the KryoFlux discussion and,
whatever I may think of the hardware[1] or past management policies[2],
I'm very positively impressed with the people who are representing
KryoFlux[3] here.
I've also been positively impressed with the other people involved.
Some people don't like some aspects of KryoFlux, sure, but the thread
hasn't degenerated into a flamefest, in marked contrast to far too many
other mailing list discussions I've seen.

[1] What I've heard sounds good; I've never even seen it personally, so
I can't say much authoritatively.[4]
[2] Like opening it up - not the opening itself, but the implication
that it hasn't always been that way.
[3] To the extent that they _are_ representing it, of course; I'm not
clear how official the representation is, but for purposes of this
email it doesn't really matter much.
[4] Given that it hooks up to a stock drive (at least that's the
impression I've gotten) and is largely open and getting opener, I'm
tempted to get one against possible future need. (I'm not thrilled
by USB, but I've got enough USB-capable machines, and will likely
get more, that it's tolerable. And, while I currently have no real
use for it, it is not unlikely that will change someday, and I'd
hate to discover them gone when I do want their product.)
