It was going to happen sooner or later! I filled my 12GB player and need more room! I ordered an IBM DJSA22000 from http://www.West-Tech.com for $130 + $15 for shipping. I found it on www.PriceWatch.com. (PLEASE don't tell me there are known problems with this drive!) :)

Reading the FAQ on the subject, I have noticed there is no step-by-step pictoral of how to do this on a Mk II player. I have some web authoring experience and a digital camera, so I was thinking of putting together something for everyone. From reading the FAQ, it seems that the only special thing I may need is a few 3mm washers for the underside of the drive. If anyone knows of anything I should keep in mind or has any suggestions for the page, let me know. (all posts to this thread will go to my email)

I should get the drive sometime next week.

There is no pictorial in the FAQ, but the photos at Dmoore's site should be more than enough. They are of a Mark1, but they apply to a Mark2 as well since its drive mounting is very similar. Even without photos, you should be fine with the text-only information in the FAQ.

I agree, it is only because of your FAQ that I thought this is even do-able! Thank you very much for compiling it and keeping it up to date!

I added the DJSA22000 to my Empeg a couple weeks back. here was me asking the same question, and Hugo's response follows. Installation was relatively painless.

Is there any difference between the DJSA-220 and the 22000? Is the later OEM?

Um.... I dunno. I think mine is a 220. I just said 22000 because you did. :)
