one thing I always had respect for was getting the correct filter...
anything else was fair game for the duct tape and bailing wire but did NOT
want crashes!

Of course, bear in mind you're in for some spectacular crashes if the media you get at home depot doesn't have exactly
the same airflow
(density)
as the one you replace. The air flow through the
filter media is very
carefully calculated to get the right amount of air into the media cavity
so
the heads can fly on that cusion of air. I seem to
recall the head disk
gap
on a 7906 is about 20 microinches or so? I don't
think I'll be playing
"test
the unknown filter media" games anytime soon.
