There are people that tried, it doesn't work. There's something proprietary written at low level that gets erased doing a low level format ( required to change the sectors ). The specifics were never released... With this I mean that the trick is not the firmware of the disk, but low level bit

The hard disks are factory initialized with a specific number of sectors... they are scsi, and you cannot use normal scsi disks there. Also you must not reformat these hdd elsewhere, or you end messing them up... the on
