The only reason imbedded drives are not fully supported is that to work 
with the MIO, they must be able to support 256 byte sectors. The only embedded 
drive that does this that I know of is the Seagate 225N. The Blackbox 
interface on the other hand deos support both 256 and 512 size sectors. Thus 
it can be used with more types of drives.
