I thought the "click of death" phenomena was a ZIP problem and not a JAZ
problem. I also never found a good statement of what was the underlying
problem(s) that led to the "click of death" phenomena! Does anyone really
know what was going on (inner crash stop crash, head retract/relaunch;
solenoid lock/unlock, both, other) and why (loss of servo control probably,
but why loose it and not regain it). Comments?
Pure intellectual curiosity only :-)
