Bob, that also happened to zip disks... it was called the click of death... I experienced that while backing up a G3 while its hard drive was failing and I was desperatelly copying the data, I could copy maybe 3 or 4 disks before I heard the click... what a horrible sound... CLICK, BRRRR, CLICK, BRRRRR, CLICK... one less zip disk. The hard drive finished failing. I had 4 backup disks and no zip drive to use them anymore. In the end, I bought another one just to recover my backup. Argh!
