After owning an ST since last August, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to clean the disk heads (my most-used drive is becoming unreliable). Does anyone out there have any recommendations on cleaning kits or techniques? When I owned my 5 1/4" drive computer I used the Verbatim cleaning kit. I realized that it may be abrasive, but it doesn't make any difference if I only clean the heads every 6 months anyway. I have an aversion to the cotton swab and alcohol technique due to the fact due to the fact that I once caused a lot of trouble with my pressure pad (in a 5 1/4" drive). I'm open to any suggestions. If I find a good answer I'll post it to the net. Thanks, R.T. Bradstrum
