I would be willing to bet it would back out to the programmers window coded
to the ROM.

Then type "bye" to get back to Linux.  I don't have a Quad handy to mess with
at the moment though.

Normal phones have magnets in the handset that can mess up a disk.  I have a
magnet reformatting tool. Same principle.

The freezer trick works.  I can attest to it.  I have done it many times.
Sometimes when you have a dead drive the heads are locked.  By putting the drive
in the freezer the metal contracts freeing the write heads.  This is usually
only a temporary fix, but I have resurrected drives using this technique for a
long enough period of time to get data back off of them.

I had Epson printers for years.  I hated HP.  It was a Mac vs. PC thing I guess, but
HP has come leaps and bouds.  I love them now.

If you can find a USB card for a Quadra 800 then let us all know.  You will make
a fortune.

Secondly, Epson printers are junk.  Get HP.  With an HP printer everytime you
change the ink Cartridge you get new printer heads...unlike Epson.  I used to
hate HP, but I will NEVER go back to epson.  Ever.
