    goesto some guy's website where he shows how he opened it up to extract the drive. Why? Well, because it's a Hitachi 4GB Compact Flash II Microdrive! And he put it in his digital camera, had the camera reformat the drive and (badabing badaboom!) he was off and running! The drive itself, not even available yet, will cost around $400-500.
