Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply .. "Tom Stangl, VFAQman" wrote: > Subject: FAQ TIME! (was: Re: [LIB] So who makes an 8.4mm drive?) > > This has been covered TONS of times in the Archives.

I have found *some* answers, questions I didn't know I was going to ask and files etc but, like any 'published' information it's potentially 'out-of-date' the second it hits the page? I read the archives, draw a conclusion, go off and find the item mentioned only to be told later by the (active list) "Oh, we don't use them any more!"? ;-( I ride a motorcycle and hence subscribe to several biking lists and we often see the same old "what is the best tyre for this bike" etc question popping up. The answers are often different each time as tyres become obsolete, new models introduced and fashions change. The 'archives' rarely reflect these particular changes? > > > Also, go here - http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ > Read it all. It will really help, it helped me in the beginning. [T] Been there, read most of that!

[T] Hmm, there seems (from the list) to be a little undercurrent of folk with dead Libbys who supposedly removed the spacers etc though Tom ..? (My reserved, non-risk-taking, Engineer, Virgo nature says "buy an 8G 8.Xmm drive...) All the best and thanks again Tom ....
