Ugh! Conner drives, don't start me... I just don't bother with them at all. I
watched a YouTube video of a guy claiming to be able to fix an old SCSI hard
drive and after he tried all his tricks he relaised it was a Conner and
hollered! LOL! Then he picked out a Quantum drive and his tricks worked on that.
Freezing never worked for me so, that's why I said no to that. Ultimately, its
whatever works.
I have also purchased 2 SCSI2SD adapters and they are brilliant!

Keith

Subject: Re: "Sticky" 80Mb Quantum Drives
Could well be, I can only relate things that have worked for me. There is a
full height drive (IBM) in my Quadra 950 that’s been in the freezer more times
than I care to think about over the last decade and it hasn’t groaned it’s last
yet. My more classic macs have a mixture of drives, but mostly Quantum, and
they have survived even more extreme measures. The last 2 Connor drives that
totally failed I’ve replaced with SCSI2SD adapters, and think I will continue
that conversion if and when other drives fail.

I would advise against the freezer method
