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
Hi
Since it is bug based, shelac thinner might do the trick. Now
to find some of that???
