tlug: "click of death"?

[Ulrike Schmidt <798a5047@example.com>]

Hi everyone,

my zip-drive seems to be showing the symptoms of click-of-death: it
clicks permanently and less and less of the data on the disk can be
accessed. I had the impression though that even before the drive just
clicked with this particular disc, and not with others, but I am not
sure. I read somewhere that the drive would kill any disk insterted
after a click-of-death. So I guess I have to look for an alternative.
Since zip-drives seem to have this problem sooner or later I thought of
buying a CD RW. Any recommendations for brands or other things to
consider?

Thanks in advance,
Uli
