How many do you need? I've got about 15 that

important. I bought two of the SQ drives when they first came out,
sank a bundle into the cartridges, and then they flaked out on me.
One drive had some kind of head crash and started eating cartridges,
and the other one just ceased to function. Frankly, I was not
impressed. Perhaps their new products are better. Do you know of any
way to re-format a SQ disk that has been bulk-erased? I had this
bright idea several years ago that maybe just completely clearing the
disks by bulk-erasing would be a good thing. I'm thinking now that I
obliterated some factory tracks that the drive can't reproduce.
Ideas?
To tell you the truth, I don't know the first thing about these drives. I just
got one for free a whilke ago and was really just wondering if the damn thing
worked or not.
I'll let you know what i find out tho...
