>>You were wise to discontinue testing the Nomai disk. This is not a suffient sample to make a general conclusion, (as you know), but this particular disk could get worse. If there is a head cleaning disk for the ZIP, I would use it.<< GM - Yes, you are correct of course. The sample is not statistically significant. On the other hand, Nomai sent these disks out to the press for testing to prove that they were compatible. I would assume that they made sure the sample disks were pre-tested to meet whatever standards Nomai has. As to a head cleaning disk for Zip, there's no such thing, unfortunately. Since the Zip heads are designed never to make contact with the media, they should not get dirty under normal use. Hence, no need for head cleaning disks. - Allen
