I too have had one of these drives fail on me. Turned out to be the controller card. I'll be getting the drive back on Fri. The original drive was $800 + ]$220 to get it fixed. For $1,000 today I can buy a fast 512mbyte drive! BTW, I sent the drive to Maxtor (or whoever it was that bought out the remains of Miniscribe) while it was still under *warranty*. They sat on it for a year. It took to threatening letters from a lawyer to even get the drive back (still unrepaired). I turned it over to a local disk drive repair shop to get it fixed. In the past 1-1/2 years I've had about four hour's total use on this drive. I will never make such a purchase again! *** Randy Hyde
