I strongly recommend placing 101's back in their protective boxes and tossing them over a cliff somewhere. I have some OEM info, but it won't do you much good -- every revision of the main circuit board has its OWN variations on jumpering, and there seem to be about 100+ variations on that board, due to *numerous* ECO's. The smaller (stepper) board also has a variety of problems, and is *probably* where the bug that killed my drive (this time) is living. The drive is subject to sporadic lost data (both localized and global), both randomly *and* related to power on/off. It is a loser. Cut your losses -- trash it! I wish I could trash mine. --Lauren--
