Everything we've tried has worked so far. There are sometimes problems with mixing ATA drives

When making dual-drive players out of whatever winchesters were lying around the office, I have had a couple of problems. I first found a Toshiba drive which simply didn't cope with being a slave to an IBM: it just didn't appear. I don't know whether it was a type of Tosh we ever shipped though.

The other problem, once I'd found a second IBM drive, is that the empeg assumes that once one drive has spun up, the other isn't far behind. This is perfectly valid for shipped dual-drive players as they all have two identical drives, but if you upgrade with a drive that spins up radically quicker or slower than your existing one, the slower one could get timed out and ignored.
