After extended testing, all of the units failed - bad sectors spontaneously appearing, and he returned them to the distributor. In other words, according to this fellow's experience, the AT hard disk problems are traceable to defective hardware, so it would be difficult to imagine that a $149 program could repair things. -Charlie
