We have a 2049 with a dying hard drive. Does the game do any kind of authentication of the drive itself? That is, if I copy the data bit-for-bit to a different IDE drive and put that in there, will it work? Is there a cyl/head/sec requirement?

I know Andamiro MK3/5/6 machines will do hard drive serial checks, just wondering if Atari did something similar.
 
I don't believe so... I'm pretty sure I've seen people selling new drives on ebay, which should mean they're not serial locked, and usually those people just use random old drives. I'd download the MAME CHD and extract it to a CompactFlash card, using a CF to IDE adapter.

The only security is in the pic chip. Search for shanman's post about putting an image on a compact flash card.
