Do you mean that you've just pulled the drive out of the RPC and stuck it in
the A7000?

That implies that the drive doesn't work from the standard ATAPI driver and
a 3rd party driver was installed.

No, no NO. Don't rip stuff out of RO 5 and expect it to work. Install the
proper C libraries for 26 bit machines.

No, it works perfectly. If you'd just installed it normally everything would
work fine.

BTW I assume that if you've just swapped the drive from your RPC into the
A7000 you did a Delete-Power-on to reset CMOS? If not then, as many modules
are in different locations, a lot of stuff will be unplugged with the new OS
which will mean things won't work properly.
