Hello Roy - 

WC>> Love to but currently on the 486 as the hard drive in the
WC>> Pentium died. Win 3.1 - DOS 5.0 

CA>> In my 20+ years I've only had one hard drive quit on me.
CA>> Odd that so many here on FIDO are forced to replace hard
CA>> drives. :-\ 

RJT> I've only lost one as well, though the two ST251 drives I
RJT> used to use got *real* noisy before I retired them.
RJT> Bearing noise, I guess, from running them 24/7. 

My one-and-only hard drive failure was also that the bearings
just wore out after almost 15 years of 24/7 operation. I
couldn't find a reason to gripe considering the circumstances
(Seagate purchased new by me). :-)
