Glen, I'm in the very same boat you're in, that is, I really would like to have the current and future DAK bundles, but would like a higher performance drive. I also read Dave's message to you, which included "Get the 541 and don't settle for anything less" and "OTOH wait around for a few months and I'm certain something better will come along". In light of all this, what do you think of the following strategy ? Get the DAK package now. The drive is cheap ($399), and, according to Bryan from DAK, you'll give yourself rights to all future DAK bundles. Use the drive for a while, and wait for the next big advance in performance/price in new drives. When that comes, buy the new drive to use with all your current and future DAK software. Then what would you do with the DAK drive ? Other than selling it, I wonder if you could attach and use the DAK drive (which is NOT SCSI) simultaneously with the newer drive (say, keeping a dictionary disk in the old DAK drive for use at all times, and swapping other disks in your other drive, or even using the DAK drive to play music CD's while using the other drive for other things). … Keith
