    Yeah, that just happened to me, I had to go to games forum main and lick on page 2 !

    Just wondering, why do people plug more than 1 (or say 2) in, if microdrives are just for storage then surely one (or two) would be enough?

    I meant just about the multi Microdrives - about plugging in as much as you can, i.e. different things, I don`t think that sounds silly, it`s way cool :)

    unless the multi microdrives are just so you don`t have to swap the cartidges/tapes ?
