This might belong in the hardware forum but it's something to share with every one. As I stated eons ago back in the days of ZaurusZone/DevNet I'm a big hardware/gadget freak. I recently used a Creative labs 40 gig hard drive from the Nomad jukebox and a pcmcia to cf adapter and mounted it on the sl-6000 [mp3 drives are thinner by nature than regular laptop drives and better partitioned]..Now for the good part ,,,I had a chance to take a serious look at the sled for the sl-6000 and I think there is a way to mount the HD unit internally without compromising the battery, at the least a microdrive wouldn't be too bad or a high capacity cf for that matter because they are more sturdy. Anyhow I figuer if I can do that for the sl-6k then I'm sure i can make mods for other units and let users decide what size HD they want to use. The benefit to having an internal HD(in the sled), is that you will still be able to use the usb connection for other things instead of plugging in an external drive. I'll also start taking notes of proceedures and ect... cause I usually don't.

coolass: you are obviously more talented or connected (or both) than most of us. How serious are you about the possibility of adding BT to a 6000L?
