Thermal Recalabration is performed on all hard disks to insure correct drive
operation due to expansion and contraction from heat buildup or cooldown. "AV"
series drives perform this task in the background without interruption data
flow during intensive read or write operations.
You certainly can get an "AV" type drive for your DOS system. Many
manufacturers such as Maxtor, Connor, Seagate, Micropolis make such specialty
drives. The prices are coming down and availability is generally good except
for the very large drives in the 9gb range.
This might go a long way towards solving your frame drop problems, Many CD-ROM
recorders must be used with AV type drives to keep data flowing to the
recorder. Otherwise if data stops flowing during the write process, the disc
will be ruined.
Good luck
