Just out of interest, the most common form of SAM drive failure I know of is the stepper motor (at least for the slimlines, though the same pattern seems to be followed by most drives). Solution? Open up the stepper motor and blow the dust and fluff off the stepper gear. It should then work nicely. I fixed my SAM drive that way; it wasn't reading tracks from 70 up.
