Actually, when I had my 1000 with a SupraDrive, I actually had to do
this for a program (it wasn't commercial).  I have no idea why it
didn't work, since it wasn't an autoconfig drive, so it shouldn't have
taken up any memory.  So every time I used the program, I had to yank
off the card from the side of the 1000...

Of course, when I wasn't using the hard-disk, I would unplug it since
it made this horrible noise.  Just leaving it turned off wouldn't work,
since the 1000 wouldn't boot.  I am not blaming the manufacturer for
the noise, since I have seen quite a few quiet ones, especially the
later models - they even gave me excellent support when I needed it.
