Re: ZIP, Click of death

[w miro]

When my ZIP stopped working (a SCSI one at that, for my Quadra 660av; 
bought zip 1995, died 1997), all Iomega did was send me a coupon for 
Iomega products at a certain percentage off.  It took about a year and 
a half for me to receive that in the mail.  (I received it two 
computers later.)
My ZIP took down my tax returns (ruining the disk along with it and all 
subsequent disks I put in it trying to troubleshoot the solution).  No 
more ZIP for me.

Hi all,

I would like to contribute some new information about the "click of
death"
of a Zip drive.
I would like to put a question mark on all the reports on the web that
the
"click of death" is that of a dying disk. Magnetism from monitor or
power supply was also mentioned as possibly distorting the
function of the drive and start this click of death syndrome.
Wow, long posting Franz :)

The click of death is not a dying disk but a dying drive problem and
Iomega has identified and offered for free to fix these drives for
free. As for EMI causing the 'COD' I don't think so as the only
computer I had used mine one that got it was a Powerbook 5300.
