A perfectly good working mpg - MHDD scans perfectly, but how to kill it ?
Take pc3k - must be a good working version.
Open drive ID menu and change the serial number, wait for some zillions
of instructions to complete - switch off and restart. If you have performed
the operation correctly your working fuji should be stone dead - no spin.
Far better than mhdd version.
btw. this is a true story.
For those who want to change the SN without disaster try something else.

My english pc3k v14 also "likes to hang" in a inexplicable way with some fujitsu drives.
I also use the cracked v12 russian version (shame on me, i know) on other machines and it seems to work fine. Maybe their fujitsu utilities have some bugs in the v14 version ...
