I thought some of you might be interested in a little follow up. I have been having some extreme problems getting the MP Shuttle to recognize anything other than the small drive I was originally using in the unit. Although there are still a few areas where I think the MPShuttle has an advantage over the empeg I am beginning to wish I had never bought it. I just sent the following email to several people at Xeenon.

"Hi,

I appologize for sending this to so many different email addresses,
but I want to make sure it get to the right people and that Xeenon of
Korea gets it as well as Xeenontech (US distributor).

I purchased a MPShuttle II through Xeenontech about two months ago
and I have been having major troubles getting a hard drive to work
with it. I have an old 540Meg Maxtor that works fine, but that is
obviously not enough capacity. I tried a 6Gig Western Digital (Model
AC36400-40LC), a 10Gig Maxtor (returned it so I don't have the model
number), a 27Gig Maxtor (Model 9270U8), and a second 27Gig Maxtor
(Model 92732U8). None of these drives have worked. I have tried
them in two different vehicles wired directly to the battery or
through the cigarette lighter adapter with and without the engine
running. I have tried them with a 12Vold 3Amp DC transformer. I
have tried them with two different MPShuttles (Xeenontech exchanged
the first one for me). The Western Digital will not spin up, the
others spin up but are not recognized by the MPShuttle. I have set
them to master, slave, and cable-select. I have tried using one
partition, I have tried using several partitions. I have used fdisk
and format to prepare them, I have used the Maxtor MaxBlast utitlity
to prepare them. I have tried formating them as fat16 and fat32.

I believe I have done everything within my power to get these units
to work. I have attempted on good faith to try as many drive
combinations as possible in as many configurations as possible. When
I purchased this product I assumed that it would work with virtually
any IDE hard drive available (as stated on the Xeenon web site).

At this point I feel that I have been the victim of fraud, that I
have been sold a product that does not work as advertised. I would
like my money back. What is Xeenon prepared to do about this?

Sincerly,
Mike Comb"

Just thought you all might be interested.
