My 340MB MicroDrive works fine on my z50.  Sometimes it goes
kind of screwy under CE(imagine that) and I have to pop
it out and put it back in.  It's been said that the 1GB drive
takes less power, so it should work with the z50 just fine.

There isn't support under NetBSD for it yet, as far as I know,
though Mike Klar of the Linux VR project has gotten it working
for Linux, so it's probably just a matter of time before someone
gets it going under NetBSD.
