    Is it time to throw out my hard drive or might it be salvaged?
    I've been using a 30mb SCSI Segate w/ a Trumpcard500 controller for
    about 2 years. In the past 6 months or so I've had some problems with
    the drive refusing to spin on power up. But I think it really gave up
    on Sunday. Now When I power my Amiga it spins and sputters as usual and
    then STOPS after about 45 seconds! At this point my Amiga decides to
    prompt me for a workbench disk.

    Google was formed in 1998, so I think this isn't 22 years old unless an old listserv was imported somehow.
