Hi Hal
Thanks for the tips.  It was the OPERATOR's fault I'm sure.   Too much
enthusiasm combined with a thick skull.  The drives were working fine
when I got them.   I did find them delicate to work with. Went through
a couple adapters which quit on me too.  I'm moving up soon to
possible motherboard destruction.  Looking to flash the bios on EPOX
P55-BT.

With Linux I've become less dangerous now that I've discovered and
downloaded KNOPPIX which runs in RAM; and just read today that SUSE
has a LIVE CD version as well.  Must investigate.
Lorraine
