Howdy netlanders-
   My OD's gone done yet again. This time it seems to be a media
problem (unrecoverable ECC errors and no more bad block replace-
ments). I have a question for all you folks with OD only or
OD dependent systems:
      - How many times have you had your OD drive replaced?
      - Has your floptical disk (media) ever gone bad?

   One of my sympathetic MS-DOS friends suggested I armor-all
my OD disk. This is (was) being discussed in rec.audio.high-end
as a means of improving CD quality. Anyone try it for OD's? It's
also apparently a common custom for CD-ROMS? Again, anyone have
any input on this?
