Thanks Crystal. I just checked it and Good Deal PC sells the 5 GB Toshiba Microdrive at $165.00, against Synchrotech's $267.00 pricing.
BTW, Synchrotech is offering the 1 GB IBM/Hitachi Microdrive $116.00 off the original price of $276.00 (so that would be $160.00) until December 5, for those who are interested. But why do I get the impression that it connects to a device via cf card, and you have to get a PCMCIA adapter to plug into a PCMCIA slot like the one on the right side of the BN? OK, let me quote that from the page: 1GB IBM/Hitachi Microdrive CompactFlash Type II + Hard Drive + Travel Kit $276.00 PCM-MHD-I-512K Price includes $116 off offer expires 12/05/2003 512MB IBM/Hitachi Microdrive CompactFlash Type II + Hard Drive + Travel Kit $97.00 PCM-MHD-I-340K 340MB IBM/Hitachi Microdrive CompactFlash Type II + Hard Drive + Travel Kit $139.00WITHOUT TRAVEL KIT PCM-MHD-I-G1 Price includes $71.71 off offer expires 12/05/2003 Features: Fully compatible with CompactFlash Type II (CF+) Transfer rates of up to 4.2 MB/sec. with 3600 RPM rotational speed Fully compatible with ATA Flash Type II (PCMCIA) when used with Travel Kit Giant magnetoresistive head, load/unload, Enhanced Adaptive Batter Life Extender 3.0, TrueTrack servo The description for the Toshiba Microdrive says PCMCIA Type II, not CompactFlash Type II.
