I am planning a HD upgrade. I have a SH204. I'm thinking of selling it and getting a SyQuest 44M removable. Ultimately I would like to have a fixed drive and the SyQuest hooked up. Anyways, I would usually figure that the ICD interface was the way to go, but I have seen alot of messages about the BMS interface here on the net. Would anybody like to comment on the relative merits of the two interfaces: price, availability, RELIABILITY, COMPATIBILITY, physical size, performance, support and personal experiences. In the compatibility area I would like to know how flexible the drive is in the area of working with a large range of drives. Also how about GCR compatibility? -- Christopher L.

I'm also thinking of getting one of those 44Meg removables. Anyone know _where_ I can get an ICD or BMS interface via mail-order? What about price? -- C.
