A friend of mine lost a hard drive recently, and took an approach that I thought was pretty clever. In his case, one of the components on the drive's logic board failed -- burned up and charred. He hunted around for another unit of the same model, bought it, and swapped the logic boards. Supposedly there's some sort of calibration between the logic board and the mechanical components, so a board swap can be risky as a long-term alternative. But, it worked long enough for him to get the data copied off. Of course, YMMV. -- Steve Revilak _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
