It doesn't work very well with the eMates because there is a bug
related to the way the power management is done in ATA Support
causing random reboots when the eMate is put to sleep. This is a bug
totally specific to the eMate, very difficult to fix because when the
eMate is connected to the debugger, it won't go to sleep.
