work together (OFF_LIST !) on producing a HOWTO on this subject:
"HOWTO proceed with reviving an Old Disk Drive".
That way, the result can be posted, forwarded, archived in the KB,
so when people DO bump into this task, they WONT fuck up the disk
by just powering it up, but, instead, follow that procedure.
I agree -- get to it Fred! :-)
Seriously, I will gladly munge my notes. THere were a few
non-complaining replies in the recent thread, they'd be a good
start.
PS: Fred, R U getting my emails? It seems you are not. I got only
your recent inquiring re: mail. I replied to the ones I got.
