I still have a Caviar 200M drive in the original 486-33/VLB system, it was very heavily use as a cad system for a few years with OS/2. Now it serves as a BSD router/firewall. I would guess it has surpassed it's MTBF by now. I wish all drives and MBs would last this long. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
