Nope. There's no way to fit a Microdrive in that case and still have a full-length circuit board like that. The Microdrive form factor is 75% of the thickness of the nano as it is, then there's the shell to consider, even with SMT components, it's not going to work. Also, the Microdrive is wider than the nano is, so it would have to be connected sideways to fit, and that doesn't leave much room for a header connector.
Ok, we've beaten this issue to a pulp. FNG has already surrendered. Let the poor guy rest.
I thought is was all nano guts. Even though I can't read Japanese if I had just bother to read the caption I would have seen "mini" in it and realized that it was a mini and a nano apart side by side. But I didn't do that. I thought I was looking at a micordrive from a nano. I had to correct myself in like 6 different threads.

You can see how scratched up my shuffle is (like my iBook too).
That's why I got a white 4Gig nano because I'm sure the black, as cool as it is, will show scratches much more than the white.
Love the new iPod though - just scared of scratching it!
Using an iPod sock to protect it until the nano tubes come out or I can find a better solution.
ooooh, nice Pods
But yeah, I'm worried about how scratched up the black nano would look as well, and that's the version I'm interested in.
(can any U2 iPod owners speak about it's black case's scratch proneness?)
I think I'll wait until there are some viable case options available for the nano, or at least those nano tubes are readily accessible.

Sorry, I didn't see the other threads.
Get it? Got it? Good!

What is the big box in the middle of the smaller boxes? It's like twice the size of the others? Any difference?
It's the flea driven battery recharger.

I'll have to buy me one of those, sounds like a real investment.
