I have a Tyan Transport GT20 and the individual drive bay LEDs don't
work at all. Annoying, but I'm not physically near the system that
much. If I recall correctly, on the GT20 the backplane didn't have the
capability to light the LEDs (although then I don't understand wtf
there are LEDs there... perhaps Windows has some way of lighting them).
Cheers,
Dan
