At Tue, 29 May 2001 it looks like Burton Windle composed: BW-->You realized that there is a 99% chance that opening the case of your hard BW-->drive will completly ruin the drive, right? The heads are *so* close to BW-->that platters that dust, etc can totally screw them up. Unless you are a BW-->trained person, in a clean-room/ESD-free area, I bet you toast the drive. BW--> Well after a trip to a downtown San Francisco Toshiba contractor, he took one look at the 1715 and said: "NOPE, sorry.... the 1600 and 1700's are not like any other Toshiba's, we can't work on them!" They are apparently only to be opened "AT" Toshiba. A followup call to two (Toshiba) company rep outlets suggested an external drive if needed. The site I found showed instructions for all the Toshiba's except the 1600's and 1700's http://www.bixnet.com/toshiba2.html -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
