lol ... I had a Seagate external drive (can't remember the model at the moment) that the FW400/USB2 interface board went belly up on last year. I was sure the drive inside was fine. Tried my best to take it apart gently but the stupid thing was built so "no user serviceable components inside" that I ended up taking out the Saws All and just cutting it open. As expected, the drive inside was just fine: stuck it in an OWC enclosure and it is in service today. :-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
