But even Micropolis disk drives do fail, every ones disk drives fail. You can have some confort in knowing that your Micropolis 2217 should be backed by a 5 year manufacture warranty, and you may have lost some data, buy you are not out the money you payed for this drive. Since that drive model is only 2.5 years old, it can't be out of warranty yet! If I can be of assistance to you in contacing Micropolis for an RMA number, please let me know. My books show the end user RMA phone line to be (818) 709-3325. (really the tech support line). > Jeffrey -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
