I've seen that rumor as well. The company that is currently advertising in START magazine, WestCo has announced a price of $1,300 for their removable system with drive, and interface, but rumor has it that the ICD host adaptor will do the job of the interface at much less cost. Also, this is noweher near the $300 price mentioned and another rumor is that the entire Westco project is now on hold. I would assume that since our cousins in the Mac world can get 45 meg removables at around $1,000 that the $1,300 asked by Westco is a bit much for their 20 meg removables. Of course this may all have nothing to do with the $300 removable - confused? I am, thats why I just swapped my 30meg mech for a 50meg mech instead! :-] Peter Szymonik
