   I saw an ad for a Mitsumi 2x drive with a 250ms access time. The price 
on this drive was $179. It sounds like a very attractive deal, as it is 
less expensive than most 2x drives, and has a much faster access time.
   Is there some hidden flaw, or incompatability, that makes this drive so 
cheap ? If not it seems like a super deal!
  Thanks,
Al
