Sorry, I wanted to say "wear" instead of erase, but couldn't find the right
English (a non-native language for me) verb at the time of my posting.
If the drive is spinning, (not only the led lit, which is independent), it
will wear you disk, and where the oxyde will go? on your drive head...

A game I know which is doing that is Tennis Cup on the atari. This is
a great incentive to find a cracked version!
