playing with the magnets from the pickup assembly. My god, they're
strong! Neodymium, I think. So strong that I actually gave myself a

That's a good tip. I never thought of the magnets when I took apart
the drives. Now that I want them I don't have dead drives anymore.


I always pull the magnets from dead hard drives, those from ancient 5.25"
SCSI server/AV drives are particularly potent, be careful!
