Yes, I noticed that. It needs a laptop-style optical drive as well, I
have one left over from when I upgraded one of my notebooks to a DVD-
burner. For the most part those are interchangeable, though you
usually have to swap the bezel.
I saw a 4Gb. no-moving-part laptop drive the other day, obviously
using RAM, but it was a drop-in replacement for a 2.5" form factor
drive. Might be interesting to try one of those, but it cost twice
what this little computer does. It would be quiet though, but laptop
drives are pretty silent anyway.

I certainly will, whether I get it working in a useful manner or not,
if it works somebody else might want to use one, and if it doesn't it
might save somebody some $$$ :-)
Thanks for the pointer.
