nope, all in a Eyetech EZ-Tower. (4.3Gb HD, 54xCD, 24xCD, Zip100)
Like I say though, it does not happen very often, so it is not a big problem
(more annoying than anything). I have tried opening the Pixel64 screen
before the drives are mounted, but it does not good. The error can not
mount drive is still put out on to a PAL screen : (

Nope, not atm : / When I bought the board at last years WoA, I asked Ateo
about a scandoubler/fixer and they said that they where developing one at
that time. I have heard nothing else about it since : /
