    How well does this work w/ removeable disks? I have a 250gig firewire drive
    which seems a waste of space as vfat. However it is easily and so far
    ( fingers crossed ) shows up *almost* immediately upon connection. It also
    seems terminally stupid to have a drive that large, it has to slow down
    searches, where the convention of partitioning breaking up the drive seems to
    speed such things up.. or , I have had one too many mai tai's for lunch <G>
