You can get upgrades of both Emplode and the Empeg Car firmware at http://www2.empeg.com/upgrades/. Be sure to get the latest ones of both.

Adding a hard disk is easy, if you're careful. Check out http://www.dmoore.com for step-by-step instructions. The only tough part about adding the second hard disk is getting the correct IDE cable. It needs to be a specific type of a certain length since there's no room in the case to fold a too-long cable.
