Do you know where I might buy such a beast and about how much?
Also, I've never opened the drive on my 701 (doesn't seem to open very
easily). Does it require a special caddy of some sort? And if so, does
that mean my current 720 drive is useless except to sell to some other 701
would-be upgrader?

Women often ask, "What do men really want, deep in their souls?"
The best answer--based on in-depth analysis of the complex and subtle
interplay of thought, instinct, and emotion that constitutes the male psyche
--is that deep in their souls, men want to watch stuff go 'bang'.
