Me I planed ahead and kept all the small drives that people didn't want but still ran from older MFM and IDE to SCSI. That and old boards even if flagged dead.. they can be fixed or used for parts. Allison Hey, A. How are you keeping the bearings in your MFM drives lubed (if you are)? Most of my MFM drives still work, but the bearings are drying out. As the motors work harder to turn, the motor controllers run hotter and will burn out there first unless a way can be found to apply lube to the motors. Lou Ernst and I have been mulling over this issue. - John S.
