Far as I can tell, the UltraBay 2000 is too smart for its own good; it wants 
to be able to notify the OS that a device has been inserted or removed, and 
the BIOS complains (that beeping; also, it doesn't really approve of removing 
a device) if the OS hasn't registered an UltraBay 200 handler of some kind.  
I don't know if the specs are available from IBM to develop a handler that 
would make the BIOS happy.
