Well, I've done it this time. My 210-meg Quantum has been flaky from the start, and my Trumpcard controller is garbage, just like the support I got from them (someone may flame about that, but I'm just telling it like it is). Now I've got real troubles. Yesterday, while doing a few moves and renames of my Saturday Compuserve download haul, the drive suddenly went *GRONK* and I got a read-error message. I got a write-error message a few seconds later. I tried a reboot, and the drive is no longer DOS. I have several weeks of stuff not backed up! (I know, I know) I've gotten drives to recover from the brink of death before, but this one is really scary! One of my next steps is to get a different drive controller — I'm really unhappy with Trumpcard, but I'm frantically looking around for something that can recover this stuff from my drive. Any suggestions? Don Weed
