It's definitely the drive order combination. I've swapped the Fujitsu and the IBM back and forth a few times and the IBM never works as slave and the Fujitsu always works. In fact, the Fujitsu as slave seems to get detected even before the Seagate as master.

I'm going to leave it Seagate-Fujitsu and just give the IBM drive to my brother (he can run it as a master in his empeg).

It's nice seeing emplode report 120 real GB (130 marketing GB). Tag fixing is a daunting task. And now I also have to hunt through some old drives lying around for my original MP3 backups (otherwise my only copies are on the empeg right now).
