This seems to be a bug with VO. I had fun adventures with Apple engineers to
try to figure it out, and they were left stumped and assuring me they were
going to obtain a Focus 40 and test it. Naturally, I don't know the outcome of
all this, but I hope it turns into something positive.
Are you talking about the hard drive or the optical drive?
The hard drive can be replaced with any 2.5 sata drive, but the
optical drive is a poticula notebook one; I'm not sure which. Bear in
mind that fitting iether part will not be easy and will require you to
take the mini more or less
