Next MO question

I dismantled my MO drive years ago and photographed it. After you take it apart for the first time you learn that the top and bottom covers can pivot and the drive becomes more easier to work on. I have it all in my Photobucket Album (http://s11.photobucket.com/user/ballsandy/library/Computer%20related/NeXT%2 0MO?sort=3&page=1) I was /one of/ the first to notice the leaking caps. It stemmed from my drive spinning uncontrollably and was assumed that the caps on the motor control had gone. This was just before we began to realize that the reason that systems like the Macintosh Portable and the IIci weere dropping like flies was because the surface mount capacitors and reached a point in their life where they had begun to leak. We now know that just because one might of failed, they all probably have and they will do some REALLY weird things as they die. The small radials that are used on the motor control are present elsewhere on the drive as well. I have plenty of reason and speculation that these are what has caused the massive 99% failure rate of the MO drives and that a full replacement will bring back the drives. As Mr. Strickland said the SCSI bridge causes translation problems but other than that, the Canofile and the two OEM variants made by Mass Microsystems and some other company for the Mac market are otherwise identical.
