I was just wondering. would it make any sence to install a couple of LEDs on the IDE cables to know whether the empeg is accessing it's Hard Drives ? I know the player can display a little icon on the top right corner, but what if the player software is not running or what if the icon is not so accurate ?

I think it might be a neat feature to have the two lights blink as the empeg reads/writes to the drives.

idea originated from the XBox HDD light. check it out http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/hdd-led.php
