it won't work; there is something specific about the hard drives
used in the dms cartridges that makes it impossible. i think it's
the serial numbers on the hard drives, but i'm not sure. the
phatbox checks this when booting up from it and will refuse to load
if it's not an official drive. phatnoise does this so you can't
just upgrade your cartridge with a bigger drive. they want you to
pay twice the price to get an official cartridge from them.
one of the guys that works at phatnoise released a hodgepodge of
scripts to work with a dms cartridge under linux:
http://phatbox.sixpak.org/phatbox/linux.phtmlthey are kind of kludgey and not documented very well, so i read how
they all worked together and started writing the phatsync perl
script from scratch to do everything in one program.
