* Using Windows XP Tablet Edition one may stop the optical (CD/DVD) drive, remove the slim component, insert an alternate (HDD) slim component, and resume operations. This feature is not available under Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) linux as of this writing. One may unmount and eject an Ultrabay Slim HDD using either command line or desktop tools. However, there is no way to unmount and eject an optical drive. This is due, in part, to the way that CD/DVD devices are made known to the OS when media get inserted and are in limbo without media present. NOTE that there are several attempts to implement a CD/DVD stop, but they rely on detailed knowledge of device identification to the running kernel and complex command line statements.
