OK, I'm a little nervous now. Hopefully I will be getting a standalone
SDLT drive within a few weeks. Are media really all from one source? Is
there anything I can to to tell if the media will be problematic or not?
Is there a web site that details the 9-volt battery fix? I'd like to know
what to do before it happens.
Thanks,
Ron.
