I'm considering purchasing a removable storage device for my system by
the end of the year. Iomega announced a 1Gbyte hard-disk cartridge
(US$500 for the drive, US$60 for a 540Mb media, US$?? for a 1Gb media),
to be put in the market in the next few months. But this info is from
their press release, and if I find all this to be vaporware, I intend
to go the MO way.

Well, that was only to introduce my interest in MO disks. Now, please, 
tell me: what's the difference between mounting a partition from a MO disk
and mounting from a hard-drive? I couldn't get what you mean with configuring
the MO as a hard-drive.
