- Ill-fated indeed! I had one and it died after a year or so.

- I do use a time parker on an old Leading Edge Model D, though. It
- is a DOS program so it might not work correctly in Windows. It'll
- promptly unpark itself when disk access is called for. For Windows
- I don't use a park program at all since the drive on my Windows
- machine is newer (and probably a lot more crash resistant).
