Thanks for your input on this subject and for the list of diferences too.
At any rate what i was trying to state is that for someone starting on DR, PC-3000 would support almost all drives in the market, and DFL would only support WD (this of course regarding firmware manipulation / fixing) .

Agree with you.
PC-3000 can support all disks, even SD also can support.
Anyway DFL works only on WD.
So essentially the DFL unit does require the PC-3000 modules? And is limited in it's ability by what your saying?
Seems that the general overall opinion is that the PC-3000 Units, (As I already suspected) are the way to go. I did (strangely enough) receive an e-mail first thing from them, the first requesting if I had received an earlier mail from them from earlier in the month when I first made a pricing inquiry, to which I replied I hadn't and a second around an hour later with a whole load of sale spiel that I did not need (Nor had requested) and the rather hefty price tag for there different products.
I'm quite sure that for instance the PC-3000 unit requires the PC-3000 data extractor module for it to be a complete unit so why they don't just package as one unit with an overall price is somewhat perplexing to say the least. The same for the other products - They all seem to be main unit and then main unit data Extractor
i.e.
PC-3000 Express - removed EUR
Data Extractor Express - removed EUR
Data Extractor RAID Edition Express - removed EUR
PC-3000 for Windows UDMA - removed EUR
Data Extractor UDMA - removed EUR
Data Extractor RAID Edition UDMA - removed EUR
PC-3000 for SCSI - removedEUR
Data Extractor SCSI - removed EUR
Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure you will

) but that would seem to indicate that PC-3000 will require the tag on data extraction modules to be a fully functional unit? As RAID is an even more specialist area I can see why it would be a separate unit but I don't see what the point is of separating the UDMA Data Extractor is for? (Anyone?) ...
My only other concern is there very restrictive transfer policy though I can see the pro's and con's of such a policy I think the Con's kind of out weigh the pro's to some extent. The major pro being that if a license was transferable, even if a fee was involved then it would give starters (Such as myself) a chance to at least get a foot in the door so to speak without having to break the bank to do it.
And yes I can see the major downside to that, in that it could/can let a lot of cowboys lose doing things they haven't the ability to do. The 'Back Street Hero' mob as I call them... I see the results on an almost daily basis when they've been let lose on folks computers.. :very sad smilie:
Anyway, it seems that it will be the PC-3000 UDMA and Data Extractor UDMA. Now just got to find the bones of €5000eur from somewhere... (Unless someone knows a cheaper alternative? - Hey Ye can't knock a guy for trying LoL
