OK, I'm a little nervous now.  Hopefully I will be getting a standalone 
SDLT drive within a few weeks.  Are media really all from one source?  Is 
there anything I can to to tell if the media will be problematic or not?  
Is there a web site that details the 9-volt battery fix?  I'd like to know 
what to do before it happens.

Thanks,
Ron.
