In fact, the soft error rate on my disks (DT8's) due to dirt, etc. seems to have gone down sharply: one error since the installation, as opposed to one or two a week before. On the negative side, the documentation could have been better, since this is not for the casual hardware hacker. While I found the installation to require only about 20 min., homework prior to installation was about two hours. The bottom line here is how off-the-wall your drive's option configuration is & how familiar you are with the same. Depending on if you're running something really, ah, customized (?) or not, things can get hairy, though the Optronics board should work just about anywhere. On balance, I'm quite happy with the installation. Good luck. --Moon
