Option drives Option Drives shipped after the introduction of
the LTE 5000 are common to the LTE Elite and the
LTE 5000 Personal Computers.
o They will have Secondary Drive Capability
(cable select). These drives will function
properly as "Device 0" ("Master") in the LTE
Elite.
o They will not have preloaded software for
either system (except Diagnostics and Setup).
(LTE Elite option drives never have contained
preloaded software).
o They will have the hidden Diagnostics and Setup
partition for the LTE Elite (as LTE Elite
Option drives have always had). The LTE 5000
does not use this partition.
Option drives shipped before the LTE 5000
Announcement are for the LTE Elite only. They do
not have Secondary Drive Capability. Drives
shipped with LTE 5000 preloaded software have the
product name (LTE 5000) on the label.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using LTE 5000 Drives with Secondary Drive Capability (cable
drives in the LTE select) will function properly as "Device 0" in
Elite the LTE Elite from a hardware standpoint.
