[3227.16 --> 3227.96] because they've been |
[3227.96 --> 3228.34] working, |
[3228.50 --> 3228.84] as you say, |
[3228.90 --> 3229.94] for roughly three years |
[3229.94 --> 3230.56] just fine. |
[3231.34 --> 3231.98] Now you've put them |
[3231.98 --> 3232.92] into a new case, |
[3233.80 --> 3234.74] it doesn't sound |
[3234.74 --> 3236.60] too clever to me. |
[3236.66 --> 3239.00] So I give the pins |
[3239.00 --> 3239.96] a visual inspection |
[3239.96 --> 3240.40] to make sure |
[3240.40 --> 3241.18] none of the little |
[3241.18 --> 3241.92] plastic bits |
[3241.92 --> 3242.86] have kind of snapped off |
[3242.86 --> 3243.60] in any of the connectors. |
[3244.30 --> 3244.88] That's certainly |
[3244.88 --> 3245.38] what I did |
[3245.38 --> 3246.86] in that COBOL system |
[3246.86 --> 3247.72] that I tried out |
[3247.72 --> 3248.94] a few episodes ago, |
[3249.04 --> 3249.98] probably a year or more. |
[3250.52 --> 3251.18] I rammed it |
[3251.18 --> 3252.16] into the back plane |
[3252.16 --> 3252.78] so hard |
[3252.78 --> 3253.52] because the tolerances |
[3253.52 --> 3254.40] were so tight |
[3254.40 --> 3255.40] on the plastic rails |
[3255.40 --> 3256.68] that I ended up |
[3256.68 --> 3257.36] snapping some of the |
[3257.36 --> 3258.00] connectors off the end |
[3258.00 --> 3258.50] of the drives. |
[3259.22 --> 3259.90] That hurts |
[3259.90 --> 3260.60] when you do that. |
[3261.44 --> 3262.30] Don't do that. |
[3265.10 --> 3266.40] But an easier solution |
[3266.40 --> 3267.32] to just pulling |
[3267.32 --> 3267.86] the pins off |
[3267.86 --> 3268.62] the drive itself |
[3268.62 --> 3269.74] is using something |
[3269.74 --> 3270.68] called Capton tape. |
[3270.76 --> 3271.10] You know what they |
[3271.10 --> 3272.28] developed for the |
[3272.28 --> 3273.92] space shuttle |
[3273.92 --> 3274.78] and I think it was |
[3274.78 --> 3275.38] actually for the |
[3275.38 --> 3275.96] Apollo missions. |
[3276.50 --> 3277.38] It's that kind of |
[3277.38 --> 3277.88] golden, |
[3278.50 --> 3279.56] really thin, |
[3279.72 --> 3280.50] electrically |
[3280.50 --> 3282.14] isolative tape |
[3282.14 --> 3284.08] and it's so thin |
[3284.08 --> 3284.58] that you can actually |
[3284.58 --> 3285.52] cut with like |
[3285.52 --> 3286.30] an exacto knife |
[3286.30 --> 3286.76] or something |
[3286.76 --> 3288.22] a small enough |
[3288.22 --> 3288.84] little piece |
[3288.84 --> 3289.44] over the first |
[3289.44 --> 3290.20] pin or two |
[3290.20 --> 3291.30] put it onto |
[3291.30 --> 3292.64] the power connector |
[3292.64 --> 3293.98] of the drive itself. |
[3294.54 --> 3295.24] I mean that achieves |
[3295.24 --> 3295.78] the same thing |
[3295.78 --> 3296.38] as cutting the |
[3296.38 --> 3298.48] 3.3 volt wire |
[3298.48 --> 3298.98] does. |
[3299.06 --> 3299.62] You're just blocking |
[3299.62 --> 3300.72] the electrical contact |
[3300.72 --> 3302.06] from making a circuit |
[3302.06 --> 3304.02] but you know |
[3304.02 --> 3305.46] if they used to work |
[3305.46 --> 3306.28] and now they don't work |
[3306.28 --> 3308.00] then you know |
[3308.00 --> 3308.86] it might not be |
[3308.86 --> 3309.66] a good outcome |
[3309.66 --> 3310.32] I'm afraid. |
[3311.10 --> 3311.48] But you did get |
[3311.48 --> 3312.48] three good years |
[3312.48 --> 3312.88] out of them |
[3312.88 --> 3313.78] I suppose. |
[3314.58 --> 3315.80] Yeah, silver lining. |
[3315.80 --> 3317.14] Look on the bright side. |
[3317.38 --> 3317.70] I don't think |
[3317.70 --> 3318.62] you should give up |
[3318.62 --> 3319.06] just yet. |
[3319.16 --> 3319.94] I think it's worth |
[3319.94 --> 3320.98] maybe testing |
[3320.98 --> 3321.82] one of these drives |
[3321.82 --> 3322.54] in an enclosure |
[3322.54 --> 3324.04] or some other case |
[3324.04 --> 3324.82] and see if they're |
[3324.82 --> 3325.36] still viable |
[3325.36 --> 3326.24] in some other |
[3326.24 --> 3327.00] setup. |
[3327.52 --> 3328.42] Then you can start |
[3328.42 --> 3329.46] isolating some variables |
[3329.46 --> 3330.98] you know maybe it's |
