Thanks for the furher clarification, Bill. I've not tried it on my
coco3, a lack of a how-to being the major impediment. And now both of my
drives have died of stiction. I also have the new ssd thing, but have
never been able to access it. Probably some magic twanger. Plugged into
the mpi, its simply not there.
