[QUOTE="Jonzjob, post: 1748764, member: 149248"] A few daze later and I definatly have a dead HD, but not all is lost because I will strip it out. The head magnet is something to behold and I will have a use for the actual disk main bearing. Nowt goes to waste here.. Just as a matter of interest. One of the early disk units I used to work on when I was employed by IBM, the heads were drived by hydraulics! Yes, that's the oily stuff and everything, including the heads was usually oily! Oil drived and mechanical indent to lock the heads on track. They weren't as fast as todays disks. I wonder why ? The access time was under 200 ms! [/QUOTE]
