Thanks, Jeff. These are actually drives from a MD1000 -- SATA drives  
-- so good to hear (sadly) that SATA updates can't be done other than  
a manual CD install.

Do you know if this is a technology limitation? I.e., never gonna be  
possible for SATA drives to be updated this way? Or is it a "not- 
implemented yet" type of thing?
