Oh, bothered to click the link. Yeah never saw the Knitking variant. Besides Brother the other one I know about is the "Purple Computing" drive. It's also basically a TPDD-1. -- John.

The video was worth watching just to see how the case is opened up and the PCB separated.   Would never in a million years thought the crystal would fail. Makes one wonder if these crystals were not well made.  They are subject to damage from physical jolts, but still, seems quite odd that even
