Ok, you lend me the $ and I'll…Anyway, I called NEC this morning and heres what they said about the NEC-55: MacWarehouse purchased directly from NEC and had the device made especially for them, per their (MacWarehouse) specifications. NEC provides no support for this drive mech, and really has no info (that they'd like to share) on its specifications available. NEC has no plans to use this mechanism in any future drive of theirs, in fact, its probably the last and only tiem you'll ever hear of the NEC-55. SO…it looks like we really know very little more about this thing than when we started our quest. I guess the next step is (like you said) to get some willing consumer out there to do us the great service of trying out the product (and letting us know). Me? Last time I rushed like that into a purchase, I wound up with a Tandy (radio shack) computer. Need I say more? Scott
