Don't forget the Sony SRD-2040A supplied in lots of SEs and external HD-SC40 units. Apple had a replacement programme for them about 10 years ago -- I found this out after three failed shortly after the programme ended. The only good thing about them is that they are faster than the Miniscribes. Phil ----- Mac OS X: It's Unix, Jim, but not as we know it... -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
