they aren't making it up, i've seen one, but from what i can tell all it is
basically is a usb to either minioptical or analog jack that plugs into your
r55, no cool editing features, remote controlling or any other groovy stuff
like that. If you like refer back to a post i had here about a week back
about the r55cif.
