- EEK! Obviously buying a new drive for a discounter would be better.
- The only drive places that I know are in Simi Valley, CA and Moorpark,
- CA. Both advertise in the Computer Shopper. As far as I remember,
- neither do IDEs... I don't know why? Also, since it sounds like the
- only thing that is good on the drive will be the heads (maybe) and the
- electronics, I don't think it will be cheaper to refurbish. Best to
- try and sell the electronics to someone locally and buy a new drive.
