Greetings!
I hope it is that simple a problem. I can handle going in and adjusting the cables - FedEx'ing the unit back is what worries me more. The FDA seemed to take a strange interest in the unit last time. I guess they handle the FCC paperwork. That, and I would *really* like to start playing / loading / tinkering with the empeg...
Meanwhile, this is a dual drive unit. It may also (I don't know for certain) be one of the first ones with the 2 x 20GB drives instead of the 18. The unit was shipped one day after Rob's announcement. Some other assorted thoughts (mostly about manufacturing):
a) If these are 20GB, could the order for new drives caused manufacturing to stop hot-gluing the drive cables?
b) Is manufacturing not gluing dual drive units at all?
c) If these are 20GB, could a change in physical disk size make the cables more likely to slip?
d) Is there any way I could find out in the present state what size these drives are?
e) Are there any other self-test / boot key sequences, like ^T, that would give any additional information?
