Or, Install Hijack, connect to ethernet, and point your web browser at http://your.empeg.ip.addr/proc/ide/hda/model and again at http://your.empeg.ip.addr/proc/ide/hdb/model -ml

Sometimes the direct approach is easiest. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs

pgrzelak carpal tunnel Registered: 15/08/2000 Posts: 4859 Loc: New Jersey, USA	Greetings! It does. Granted, not much detail and a little cryptic, but a quick google search can translate the code to the make / model, if the code itself doesn't help. I know some drives are easier to read than others... -=-=- empeg single channel IDE Probing primary interface... hda: IC25T060ATCS05-0, ATA DISK drive hdb: IC25T060ATCS05-0, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x000-0x007,0x038 on irq 6 hda: IC25T060ATCS05-0, 57231MB w/1768kB Cache, CHS=7296/255/63 hdb: IC25T060ATCS05-0, 57231MB w/1768kB Cache, CHS=7296/255/63 IBM Travelstar 60 -=-=- empeg single channel IDE Probing primary interface... hda: IBM-DJSA-220, ATA DISK drive hdb: IBM-DJSA-220, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x000-0x007,0x038 on irq 6 hda: IBM-DJSA-220, 19077MB w/1874kB Cache, CHS=38760/16/63 hdb: IBM-DJSA-220, 19077MB w/1874kB Cache, CHS=38760/16/63 IBM Travelstar 20 -=-=- _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs

I think someone owes you royalties... _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs
