Characteristics
- UltraBay: no hot swapping
- UltraBay II: supports hot swapping, blending has cut out egde on the right
- UltraBay FX: the combined floppy drive and CD-ROM, DVD or CDRW mechanism found in the 390/390E/390X
- UltraSlimBay: supports hot swapping; Frame, rectangle like blending
- UltraBay 2000: supports hot swapping; Frame, blending has cut out egde on the right
- UltraBay Plus: same as UltraBay 2000, but can take the UltraBay Plus Device Carrier which in turn can hold the UltraBay Plus WorkPad Cradle or the UltraBay Plus Numeric Keypad
- UltraBay Slim: supports hot swapping; notably thinner than UltraBay 2000, cut out right edge in blending
- UltraBay Enhanced: supports hot swapping; slightly thicker than UltraBay Slim, but accepts UltraBay Slim devices
Linux Support
The pinout switching is done by the BIOS and hardware, so that it is completely transparent to the operating system.
- Floppy drives are supported by the standard floppy driver.
- ZIP drive support is possible through the ide-disk driver.
- IDE drives are supported by the IDE driver in the linux kernel. SCSI emulation via ide-scsi is possible. *Batteries are BIOS controlled, anyway.
- UltraBay Plus devices should be handled by the USB subsystem, but if the devices are is not known.
Hotswapping is supposed to be supported as well, using hdparm to (un)register devices.
NOTE!
This seems to be broken with 2.6 kernels.
