Two years ago, I wrote a small booklet entitled - "Understanding PC Hard Disk Subsystems". We printed and distributed 6,000 copies to promote our business at a computer show. The booklet is aimed at technical, repair, consulting and support professionals. It goes into some depth re: History of Drives & Controllers ST506, ESDI, IDE, SCSI Interfaces Understanding Hard Disk Geometry Interfacing Drives to PC's Installing & Configuring Performance Considerations Drive maintenance & Failures When and When Not to use Utilities etc., etc. etc. Every since I have been inundated with requests for copies and/or updates of the original. If there is enough interest I will rewrite, update and publish it chapter by chapter in various newgroups. If anyone wants to be on my list, they can receive chapters by sending me their e-mail address. -- Nicholas Majors - datarec@the-wire.com Data Recovery Labs (division of Data Recovery Services Inc) 1315 Lawrence Avenue East - Unit 502 Don Mills, Ontario, Canada M3A 3R3 1-416-510-6990
