Well, Mark, Both the 225 and the 251-1 have been causing me problems.
I am not really satisfied with either of these drives.  I've been using
them for about five months and nothing has broken yet, but I still do
not trust them.  

We tried to install a Conors drive that is supposed to have a zero
fault rate but we couldn't get a controller to talk to it in my machine
so we had to give up.

I am still looking around for a GOOD replacement for the original that
came with my Zenith 241.
