Rumor has it that Bob Rosenbloom may have mentioned these words:
I had one drive soaking in a bucket for three days now.
Still hard as
rock. I'm pretty sure the bugs are long dead, probably 15 or more years
ago. They are like Jay said, a mass with tubes through it, water poored
out of the tubes when I removed the drive from the bucket. I'll try the
steam or WD40 ideas this weekend and see what happens.
Possibly something stronger but still innocuous might work... say,
isoprop[ano|y]l? Naphtha (lighter fluid - but get it by the quart/litre at
the hardware store instead - much cheaper that way! ;-) might also work,
but that might leave a film that could be tougher to clean off afterwards...
HTH,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
