Hi,
> Why not keep your eyes out for another sparcbook?
I have a couple SPARCBooks.
By the way, I'm at the Veritas NetVision conference in Las Vegas this week.
Tadpole has a booth here, and their new UltraBook really is cool. Everyone
already knows that though.... :-)

I'm looking for a fast and easy way of loading and copying the drives
from another machine, without having to rely on 10-base-T speed. I'll
transfer a couple GB of stuff onto my SPARCBook at a client's, and it
takes too long to unload the stuff over the network connection.
There are other solutions to my needs, just would be nifty to find the drive
box so I can plug the drive directly into my desktop workstation.
