I have 2 MIO's, and they will work with the SCSI imbedded drives.  It is not
suggeted that you use them, but there are format programs out there for them.
I'm not sure why ICD doesn't want you to use the SCSI imbedded drives.
Personally, I never really wanted to find out the hard way.  I have a couple of
old xebec 1410 SASI controllers on my MIO's, and they work fine.  I now have
the SCSI ROM chip for them, and all I have to do is change the bytes per sector
from 512, to 256, and it should work fine in the old Xebec controllers.
