I'm planning on bringing my XT to school with me in the fall.  I'm a bit
nervous about carrying my hard disk the approx. 250 miles across bumpy roads
and the like.  I'd appreciate any info on the correct way to park the
heads, pack the thing, etc...  (The disk is a normal, boring, IBM 10 Megger.)

Many thanks...

 Or girl by your side -- let your pal be your guide.
 And when it breaks down or starts to annoy 
 Or grinds when it moves and gives you no joy
 'Cos it's eaten your hat or had sex with your cat
 Bled oil on your floor or ripped off your door
 And you get to the point you can't stand any more
 Bring it to us, we won't give a fig.
 We'll tell you 'Go stick your head in a pig'."
