I was going to suggest additional storage to Dennis, also, but I hadn't
thought of homebrewing. I know that when I buy a name-brand drive, it
comes with the right drivers for Macs and works smoothly. What would I
have to do to accomplish the same results myself? And what kind of cost
savings are we talking about? (The name-brand FW 800 drives seem to run 
about $1/GB these days; less for FW 400.)
