To chime in on this thread. I just got a WDC WD3200BEVE-00A0HT0 320GB drive to try. So far I've run into several roadblocks on Windows XP Pro SP3 (didn't try Windows 7 yet, but I expect worse).
1. When installed in the DMS cartridge and using the Phatnoise USB 2.0 cradle, I was able to use DMS Tools 2.14 to initialize the drive and the PHTSYS/PHTDTA partitions (took a long time to format the PHTDTA!).
2. Phatnoise Media Manager 3.92 doesn't work with it -- it complains "An unknown error occurred while accessing G:\CurrentSetup.xml." (but the file is there and appears to be good).
3. Changed to using a USB-IDE adapter instead of the DMS and cradle, PMM 3.92 says "Error retrieving DMS drive id". After clicking OK, the drive shows up in PMM as a generic USB drive instead of a DMS.
4. I backed up a copy of the DeviceDMS.dll and used a hex editor on it, but can't find any strings matching "WDC" at all. Nevertheless I added this drive's ID into the data per
jlv's post above, but it didn't make any difference. According to the discussions in this thread I shouldn't have to do this anyway.
Does anyone have PMM 3.92 working on Windows XP with a WD3200BEVE drive (for WD2500BEVE, for that matter)? What did you have to do to make it work? I really don't want to downgrade to PMM 3.76...
