I'm going to be contacting companies next for replacements.  But, in comment to your
problems with tapes, I have some DC2120 (I think that's right) tapes that are well
over 5 years old and still doing great.  Actually, I'm quite surprised about that.
In any case, the faster I can get the stuff off disks and tape and onto CD, the
better off I'll be!

Adios,
Kevin J Dressel
