From a local newsgroup:
HAs anyone out there got an old LS-120 drive they dont want anymore. I only need it to recover data on all my old disks and my drive has died and gone to silicone heaven.. Plz help.
Silicone? He obviously needs to implant it into his PC :-) But aside from that, it indicates an issue with backups. You need to ensure you have backup hardware too sometimes. Steve
