>Wayne in regards a Unidisk:  if the VTech card uses the same controller that 
is in a Laser 128 then I would NOT suggest using it.  I tried one on a 128 
once and ended up totally frying the Laser's motherboard.  I have used a 400k 
and old no button Mac 800k drive on a Laser (also a Laser made 3.5 and a 
couple of no-name clone 3.5s)  with success (different 128, I fortunately had 
a few).  But, I would NOT suggest the use of a Unidisk.
