Hi Brian,

it would be very nice, if you would have a look inside of your EII 
for checking out which drive do you have. I know it`s hard and much 
work what I want from you, but it would help me and maybe others 
here very much. I`ve tried several drives, I`ve had - some of them 
with the possibility of changing jumper-settings, but none of them 
worked. 

Best regards
Heiko

the drive either to 0 or 1 (don't remember), painted the front end 
black and mounted the drive in the lower bay in a  3.5" to 5.25" 
adapter frame.
