And to make matters more dire, during the pickup, when
hefting the BA123 box
to load it into the truck, the drive+sled slipped out and fell to the concrete
floor, probably about 14".
Wasn't the standard drop height for those things 24" onto concrete and
they'd survive? Or am I thinking of later DEC drives.....
Here's a suggestion. Knock that drive hard! ;)
If the problem is that the
heads are 'stuck', it just might kick them off the stop. If the drive is
considered dead, might be worth a try!
Yep, nothing to lose! I'll be trying it on Monday after a weekend of Alpha
DS25s, ES40s and an HP EVA4000 with 56 146gb drives :)
