SRP > Monty Saine As a matter of fact, the Bodega Bay COULD support the A590. If you are planning on a 590 purchase now and a bodega bay later, you could take the drive out and use it with another controller later. The boodega bay is selling MO from several resellers for 299.00 to 339.00 plus shipping etc. (I did not say that is was pratical to use the 590 this way, JUST POSSIBLE :) :) :) ). Bill
