Seeing that the Neoware box allows to load a LInux System you should be
able to use this one to flash LEAF to your box, if PXE, like KP
suggested, does not work. Your experiment with the 2.5 inch drive
suggests that the pin layout is standard. So all you need is to get one
ot these 2.5 to 3.5 adapters, stick pins into all the holes and use it
as an adapter for your device. This is a real horrible hardware hack but
if everything else fails it might do the job for you. HP is not very
informative on parts and manuals for this product.
