>> Chuck, you said >>MR - MagnetoResistive - A term that describes a phenomenon of physics in specially prepared semiconductive material used to make magnetic heads for reading and writing magnetic media. <<

Sorry... I was a *little* overzealous in my explanation. (Actually
I was unsure if it was used for both, since I don't know ALL the
gory details.) Thanks for the correction. I'm also not exactly sure it
would precisely be called a "semicondutive material" either, but it was the best explanation I could muster...

Chuck

Gottffried, perhaps you can answer a question I posted on the RDRT thread and didn't find an answer to. Is all this talk of Seagate outsourcing heads to RDRT realistic given ample internal head capacity. I guess if the conversion from inductive to MR is expensive enough, they could avoid the added investment in MR and outsource some heads, effectively idling some current inductive capacity. Any thoughts from experts on the subject?
