Jock, all I really know about COD is what I read in Steve Gibson's website, which David excerpted the quote from. I do know that if I run his (Steve's) TIP program and the disk has a bunch of errors (hard and soft), that I'd better copy my info onto a hard disk (or another Zip) then, because if I use that particular disk several more times, it's liable to go bad. If I do take the disk with a bunch of errors and format it (long format), it's toast. But using it one or two more times apparently carries acceptable risk.

BTW, I have never heard about the JAZ having anything like COD, and I wouldn't expect it to, since it is a removable hard disk, using completely different technology/mechanism, I figure.

I wouldn't believe everything a Dell service tech tells you without verification. Maybe you should pose the question on comp.sys.ibm.hardware.storage, and see how many yes and no replies you get?
