Buster,

Re: Sony HiFD

>>I pretty much passed on it because it's suggested price...<<

How about availability?

>>With the Sony's speed...<<

Speed?...oh, yea...those PP models really fly...like molasses in the wintertime.

>>...and reliability<<

After 100 units or so sold and the embarrassing recall, HiFD passed this test with flying colors <G>.

Don't forget that in order to install the darned thing, you need a floppy drive....which begs the question as to why it's "backwards compatible" in the first place.
