IMO, this is not just for those who already have one of these units, but a solution that will open up a great option for those looking for some mass storage also. A better solution than is available without this conversion.

As I understand it, Phoenix32 has developed a custom converter that will fit in the sled with higher quality components to match or exceed the GOS units hardware.
You have no idea how right you are on this, LOL. I would say "customized" rather than "custom".

But, this is information for a later topic. First we have to see here if there is enough interest for me to put more time in getting into the details of it all. Let's hope we get some more posts here soon.
