For the zillionth time, you can't do this! The s4 only comes with 3 bits of
head select. It is physically possible to wire up the other bit but this
will void your warranty and you'll have to hack the driver software to get
it to work anyway. You can't have two drives either!

Don't blame me, *I* already yelled and screamed to no effect about this.
