 Yes, I was looking for info on NeWS and saw a posting of about a week old on 
d.a.f.c. But of course it was already gone, so I'm still looking for a NeWS 
machine.

 Yes, I'm pretty sure the Sony NeWS systems did ascii. Unfortunately I never 
had the chance to see one in action.

 So it wasn't a precisionbook but a box of CD-i discs I got yesterday :). Maybe 
I'll have more luck today. What is the problem with the drive caddies? There 
are disks in them, right? The auction mentioned two 4Gb disks, so I suppose 
these were striped for speed? And any luck with your 20Gb disk?
