Jeffrey Hsu stands accused of saying: > Well, I'm totally bummed that my Microplis 2217 just died 2 days ago 8( Consolation. If it's any comfort, I recently did a panic upgrade to 2.0.5 for a local ISP whose bootdisk (Seagate ST6550A) went farming. In the space of less than three hours it scored _every_ face on all three platters _except_ the top one. (The servo surface looked like an etch-a-sketch 8) > and I have yet to recover.
