Joey PS - I would like the 160GB drives, however I'll take any size. I can't think of what those portable media drives are, except for flash drives. If that is what they are for, they are all over the place. My Gateways and EeePCs can use SD flash drives. I have lots of them. Unfortunately the one in my two 2006 Gateways can only read up to 1GB flash drives. While my five EeePCs can use up 32GB flash drives. -- Bill Windows XP Home SP3 (5.1.2600) Asus EEE PC 702G8 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC |

That seems to be the situation with every vendor that has a listing for it, and there are none listed on eBay. :-( Ken Whiton -- FIDO: 1:132/152 InterNet: L (remove the obvious to reply) |

From that same Amazon page: "Gateway desktop compatibility: This drive is fully compatible with Gateway desktops that feature the portable media drive bay. Simply slide the drive into the bay to back up files or transfer large amounts of data." Ken Whiton -- FIDO: 1:132/152 InterNet: L (remove the obvious to reply) |
