I picked one of these (1300XL) up refurbished, and I was concerned, as
well, but reading of the source and handbook *seems* to indicate that
the "rogues" are devices which implement non-standard feature sets
(like not having certain features).  I believe they are generally
competent at storing and retrieving data.

If that's not the case, I'd love to know--I still have a few days to
return it for a refund. :)
