Well, I just picked it up to see, there is a jumper, on the two of 4 pins 
farthest from the cable connector.  Looking at the fine print with a 20 power 
glass would seem to indicate that it is the 1.5Gbs limit jumper.  NDI how one 
would go about removing it, its so shrouded and buried that no pair of 
tweezers I own could extract it.  Whatever, the platters I would expect to 
see visibly scratched it I was to open it.  By now, I'm sure seacrate would 
find an excuse not to warranty it.  Shrug.  Besides, the difference in 
machine speed is a lot more than 2/1.


Thanks Mikkel.
