Charles,

        Sorry I guess I have to post, my mail keeps bouncing back.  My drive
mechanism is wearing.  its not the SIO cable (I've had that problem also), no
matter how much tweaking of the cable I do it doesn't work.  Only a rap on top
of the drive works.  It also makes a louder than usual (HaHaHa) sound when
moving track to track.  I have been considering a 551 for about 6 mo. and this
problem only appeared about two mo. ago, so I guess I will get the 551 use the
1050 as a second drive until it breathes its last breath.  Thanks anyway.

                                        Paul Amonson
