Hacking the Salora HDD2510

I wondered what would happen when I insert another hard disc into the HD recorder. Using an old IDE 2 gigabyter I restarted the Salora. It remained in its boot sequence (blinking HELLO on the display) forever. Aha, the drive must be jumpered to master-mode. Now during booting, it makes a formatting-like noise. After a while, the boot sequence completes, and YES, the disc is ready for use.

Conclusion: if you want to use another hard disc, just put it in!
