- Thank guys. I ahve just one more question: If I buy an external 120,
- can I just have someone (I don't think I'm *quite* up to this...) swap the
- drive mechanisms? That way I can save on an external unit? Hmmm. I'll have
- to check into total cost scenarios to see if this is financial feasible, but
- I need to know if it is technologically feasbile.
