<<It could be that Iomega's Zip technology is unique enough that Iomega doesn't want to broadcast exactly how it works.>> Well, lets see. If the heads don't fly over the disk, or they don't ride on the disk, then I guess they must "bounce" along the disk's surface. <ggg> I suspect the heads fly over the disk. However, I don't see how IOM is using Winchester technology. I would believe that head crashes would be a real problem. I have never heard of a head crashing on a Zip drive....has anyone else? So, its possible that the head is in contact with the disk. IOM can be contacted for an answer, or someone may find out by taking their drive apart. Of course, there goes the warranty. Stock Bull
