In here the same is happening....just not without 
problems...after 2 years of perfect work, now my zip 
reads perfectly but when trying to format a zip disk...it 
makes some clicks and renders the zips useless...in one 
weekend I have blown 4 zips....arrrrghhh!!!! not the fault of 
the emax because it only blew 2 zips the other 2 were on 
a Mac and on a Roland VS...its defnitly a drive fault...and 
to "discover" this I blew 50% of the drive value in disks :((

Best,

Paulo Abreu
