Sorry to butt in on this discussion, but can A5000s be upgraded to OS3.6 -
which obviously <does> support larger drives.

I ask because my former A5000 is now owned by my sister, who has just bought
my former 210MB drive from my RiscPC! (Keep it in the family but get paid
for it :-)) She has now already filled it - as I have with a 1.3GB disc! (Is
there some theory that says data expands to fill a HD whatever its size??)
