The only results I got back from startpage involve Minix[0] and Debian[1] (and my previous posts on getting the drive mounted earlier, when it still had a Windows fs). And Poly, I don't believe my drive has that issue you mentioned (aka click of death). Though this is actually the first time I've had it hooked up and running since I've owned the drive (and I don't remember where I got it from). I have 4 ZIP disks so if I lose one to finding out the drive is junk, no biggie. There was nothing on this one anyway.

I always figured using the /dev/whatever /was/ access the hardware directly. Eh. [1]: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/01/msg01302.html Not really relevant but including it for completeness. All the other results are junk. --=20 Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
