Just did another interesting thing. I took my 1100 and went into debug mode. From there I typed:

bios model

and came up with the following:

04/19/2005 10:57:07 Command: bios model

Model Byte currently is:
0 - 2 drive IDE: "Minnie"
==> 1 - 1 drive IDE: "Mortie"
2 - 4 drive IDE: "Laser"
3 - 12 drive IDE: "Clipper"

------------
Command executed without error.



So I went to my 2200 and came up with this:

Command: bios model
Snap 2200 answer:
04/19/2005 10:31:23 Command: bios model

Model Byte currently is:
==> 0 - 2 drive IDE: "Minnie"
1 - 1 drive IDE: "Mortie"
2 - 4 drive IDE: "Laser"
3 - 12 drive IDE: "Clipper"

------------
Command executed without error.



Now, reading a couple of pages back, someone said to try and change the model.
So I typed:
unlock bios
bios model 0 <-- Thats a zero
lock bios
reboot

From there I figured that it would "act" like a 2200. I put in another
HD and after the reboot it formatted the second hard drive. The main
drive is Master and the newly added HD is slave. So now, I figured with
the bios in Model 0, I would be able to see the configuration screen allowing
me to mirror the drives, but it wasn't there. So I went into the debug screen
again and typed: config devices config mirror. I rebooted and, HEY!! I have
a mirrored system, just like my 2200!!!

Just another mile stone!
