There are good reasons to take hard drives apart. I'm going to take apart the hard drive from an original IBM PC-AT, take the platter and machine a knife edge on at, and throw it at the neck of the next IBM salescritter I run across!! :-) :-) Those of you with these drives know exactly what I mean. You also know that these things have already been taken apart enough times the screws may be stripped. Doug McDonald
