That explains it. Focus drives started becomming affordable a few
years ago. They are IDE hardcards that are mated to 2.5" IDE
drives. The ROM identifies drive geometries of between 20MB and
2GB hard drives and correctly autoconfigures.
To see a picture of a Focus drive, see http://www.allelec.com/
Alltech Electronic's web site. They make the Focus drive.
