Oh No, Click of Death Disease !

I don't think just the head is available, the alignment has to be done
at the factory as its over 30 times more precise than say a floppy
disk . More like a hard disk in its complexity .

Thanks a lot,

I haven't seen inside of a usb zip drive, but if it's the same mechanism as
a scsi
or parallel one, you could do a transplant. I see the latter at thrift
stores and flea
markets for as little as $1.....Paul
