Out of curiosity, what does that indicate (or where can I find comments

Yes, I also got an email from the product manager of the SimpleDrive
asking me what sort of documentation I was looking for. This seems like
an open-source friendly company; just so that we can keep this in mind
in case there are portable storage device/hard drive issues in the
future. It looks like Firewire is also taken care of, but you never know
what else there might be in the future.
