I have just purchased a 6 gig used empeg I want to know how difficult it is and what type of hard drive to use to upgrade. I have also misplaced my emplode disc, any hackers out there that will tell me where to go to get a copy ? Thanks for the help. sneekerzz@aol.com

You can get upgrades of both Emplode and the Empeg Car firmware at http://www2.empeg.com/upgrades/. Be sure to get the latest ones of both.

Adding a hard disk is easy, if you're careful. Check out http://www.dmoore.com for step-by-step instructions. The only tough part about adding the second hard disk is getting the correct IDE cable. It needs to be a specific type of a certain length since there's no room in the case to fold a too-long cable.

Whoops! Forgot to mention a few things:

1) Congratulations on your new Empeg!

2) The type of hard drive supported is: Any IDE laptop drive will do, but it must be no taller than 12.5mm. There is very little remaining space in the Empeg case.
