I sure as heck could not afford $1490 for the work that Sam had to pay to have done tho he may have *had* to do it w/r to his job (therefore, cost could be justified/recovered eventually.) Most of us are just plain hobbyists who want to try to preserve our equipment as best we can with little or no resources. I've got several 10+ year-old dead drives I was wondering how to handle especially a physically huge HP 7912 drive (64mb IIRC) that I'd really like to restore (servo error #9, either servo board or head positioner?) Nevertheless, thanks for bringing this up and many of us concerned will be watching for worthwhile suggestions. -- Chris -- -- Christian Fandt, Electronic/Electrical Historian Jamestown, NY USA Member of Antique Wireless Association URL: http://www.ggw.org/freenet/a/awa/
