Similar to my experience.  In my case, they just put everything on a Quadra
multi-interface external hard drive and sent it to me.  I got
everything, and now use
that drive as a backup (it's large enough for about 3 copies of everything
worthy of backing up).  It has USB, two speed of firewire and an eSATA
interface.  I started with USB, and then bought a card so I can use eSATA.
