The deal is actually better: a 40MB 1"-high, palm-sized drive for $299 with
a five-year warranty for an additional $87, I believe.  However, Jasmine
is still a poor source to buy from, in my opinion.  It has repeatedly ignored
warranty-extension and support promises made under the "ancien regime,"
and my company among others is still stuck with drives which Jasmine is 
refusing to repair, offering only trade-ups at almost more money than it would 
take to buy a brand-new comparable drive from a reputable company.
