I'd think so... All from memory, could be off: The empeg guys sort of mislabels the /dev/hdb into /dev/hdc on the MkIIs (normally hdb is slave on the first IDE channel and hdc is master on the second IDE channel) so that the MkI and MkIIs can do the same thing despite the secondary disk in the MkI being master on the second channel while it's slave on the first channel in the MkIIs. What physical device the /dev/whatever actually point to is decided by the major and minor device numbers, not the name.
