On older Jasmine drives, the ones with the metal cases, the blue filter
on the front gets very dirty.  Dirty enough that it is difficult to see the
status light... not good for the health of the drive.

It is also nearly impossible to get the filter out because of it's recessed
position.

Solution for cleaning;
Give the cover a shower!

Take the cover off of the drive, and rinse out the blue filter; no need for
dissasembling the screen/frame/filter assembly.  A fairly high pressure stream
of warm water works (I took mine into the shower, which brought some strange
looks from the other people in the dorm..), but be careful that it isn't too
high, or else it will rip the filter apart.  Rinse from the inside of the
cover to the ouside; the dust is on the outside (no need to force the dust
through the filter...).  A blow dryer works well to _completely_ dry the
filter.

I haven't torn into one of the new drives to see if they have filters...

It's great, I can actually watch the little red LED blink during read/write's;
good to take up time while waiting for the Mac's non DMA access :-).
