Hey trag,

I appreciate your insight, but the purpose of this thread is to figure out how to salvage the drive I have now before I go out hunting down another one.

I remember several articles mentioning them in MacUser and MacWorld round ups of removable media storage devices.

I've got a whole bunch of MacWorld, MacUser & MacAddict magazines from the early 90s to the mid-2000s (I even have a couple of issues from the 80s as well). I'll probably re-read some of them over the Christmas break to find out more information on PD drives, as I realize they were once very popular in the storage media market. Hopefully by then I will be able to determine what to do with this drive.
