The drive is running fine and smoothly (much less noise than from the built in drive), but the machine doesn't recognize media changes on the second drive. I saw magazine advertisements where they offered NEC drives that were changed for media changes to be recognized. How do I have to modify the drive so that the media changes will be recognized? I'm pretty good in soldering, and I'm definitely not afraid of soldering on the disk drive's electronic board. Any hints are welcome.
