Junk? Um... I have two other drives that are working flawlessly. The one
that failed was one of the first scsi insider zip drives out. Hardware bugs
happen. The replacement has worked flawlessly ever since.
PS: Don't feel too bad for them. They refurbish the drives and sell them
through places like Damark. :)

I feel bad for companies that replace junk for free.
In a way, it's
great support, but it also indicates that they expect this stuff to
go bad. I almost never have hardware problems (some people fry their
mobo every day), but floppy drives are definitely the least reliable of
all modern PC technology (maybe next to monitors).

I'm curious. I've got 3 zip drives in
use, and they've all performed
flawlessly
except that the one in my PC croaked. I called
them and they fed-exed
me
>a new one, and I sent them the old one. *shrug*
