Can the average "semi-technically savy" user replace the microdrive in these? Or is it a case of once you get it apart you can't get it back together? Are screws or glue holding it together? Maybe duct tape to get it back together? :)

Has anyone tried this yet?

Just a FYI, I carefully disassembled the unit and sadly, the drive isn't replaceable by the average joe. In fact, it's not even like a regualar CF type microdrive. It's actually smaller, connected by what appears to be a soldered ribbon connection.

Truthfully, I was going to use the drive in my digital camera as the unit didn't cost me near as much as a 2 GB card/microdrive would have.

Oh well, it still works. Maybe I'll dump it off on ebay. :D
