Wow - you hadn't used the drives for 3 years and they actually worked when you brought them online! When I was at P&H, we had 2 3420s left until about a year before the datacenter closed.
My experience with those old IBM drives was the rubber hoses tended to get dryed out and crack. I know we had 2 of them until they were taken out. One was used for parts, but when they both quit, we decided to just to get rid of them. Eric ---- "Burrell wrote: > > I guess we'll have to keep these two 3420 drives around for awhile > longer.
