Just to bring some continuity to this story; last week I arranged a 
loan drive, with which to experiment.  After some fruitless initial 
tinkering, I sent it back as faulty.

The replacement arrived today, and it exhibits the same basic 
behaviour; ie. it no longer looks like an IDE disk at all.  It _does_ 
respond to the ATAPI probe, however they appear to have removed the IDE 
emulation in current models.

This of course means that you can't _boot_ from them anymore, which is 
a royal pain.

It'd still be good if someone were to come forward and offer to add the 
necessary ATAPI support, of course. 8)
