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.

Whoops! Forgot to mention a few things:

1) Congratulations on your new Empeg!

2) The type of hard drive supported is: Any IDE laptop drive will do, but it must be no taller than 12.5mm. There is very little remaining space in the Empeg case.

3) Register and log in to this BBS instead of posting anonymously. There are some great discussions going on and there is a good community here. Join us!
