Andy,

The nagging question I keep getting about Microdrives is reliability.  I
think we need to get a better idea about this before moving forward.
Given that we've seen very few failures on the CF and that we probably
aren't hitting the 300K sector write limit, a higher density CF may be a
good way to go.  I've asked for Ops to get pricing on 1, 2, and 4GB
Microdrives and CF.  We've seen the $40 1GB CF pricing, and they're
working on the others.

Hope you feel better soon!


Brian
