Stitch, this poster gives a link to a video where some drive experts discuss "click of death" an affliction of a small percentage of ZIP disks. The interesting thing is they give away monitoring software that supposedly warns you before trouble occurs. My last employer had a method to monitor amplitude around a track periodically. Significant changes meant there might have been head/disk contact. In the case of ZIP monitoring software amplitude cannot be measured, because a PC is incapable of it. That leaves only soft error rate monitoring. Do you have any knowledge of this? I'm just curious. The link Message 6350056 Gottfried
