[Elphel-support] Installing an external HDD on the model 353

[John M]

Hello Andrey,

Thank you for your response. I attached the report to this email.

- As for the SATA, I did power it before the camera was booted. I also tried
powering it after the camera was booted as well.
- I have one CF card but I also have a compass.

I tried setting the SATA as IDE slave and then I reboot from the system
preferences. It doesnt seem to recognize the HDD.  Any thoughts?

Thanks
