The only other OS I've tried it on is windows, and it worked fine. These things
seem to be made for hot-swapability, or at least for that particular OS.

It's driver seems to be built into the kernel, rather than loaded from hotplug
or discovery. I don't know of any way to change it, since it probably uses the
IDE driver.
