Re: MD: MD data conversion Zip Drive Click of Death?
OT i know, but.. :) I've had a parallel port zip drive for just over a year now - it's used a couple of times a week at uni, transported about a fair bit (in a proper case, but that's not a lot of protection), and the disks are often carried about uncased. I've not had a single problem, except that the thing is so damn slow and uses up all the CPU while it transfers :) I stopped using it for backups when I bought a CDR drive. (buy an external SCSI or internal IDE zip drive rather than the PP one) A couple of friends have external PP drives too, all without problems. It seems to be something that affected the really early drives. Simon On Sun, 26 Sep 1999, J. Coon wrote: Magic wrote: no.

Re: MD: MD data conversion Zip Drive Click of Death?
I'm on my 3rd zip drive (not problems with the drive) sold the first one to a friend (SCSI ZIP 100) Still using the second and third one one is a 100 the other is a new 250 never had a problem with any of them.. the one I sold my buddy is still using... The reports I read about the click of death, say that it was fixed within the first year of the drives production... Yep, It's only in certain drives, and if you buy an Iomage zip-drive, then they'll suply a new disk and/or drive whenever you encounter CoD, even if you're 5 years out of warenty, doesn't matter. I've got a 100Mb SCSI Zip, and 12 disks, haven't had a single problem with any of 'm.
