From: prindle@NADC Everyone is overlooking the most obvious way out of this dilemma - it never fails. Just take that funny looking piece of cardboard that came with the drive (you did keep it, didn't you!) and shove it in the slot; the extra protrusion on the back of the cardboard piece pushes the head mechanism back to track 1. Instant fix, no screwdrivers, warranty intact. Frank Prindle Prindle@NADC.arpa
