Despite taking great care with my IBM 340MB Microdrive, never bumping it or anything for that matter, it has stopped functioning after a few months. When I place it in the card reader, I hear a high pitch whinning sound and it is not recognized in the reader or the camera.

So...I decided to buy a 512 MB Ridata CF card. Got it new for $177.00 on Ebay. I am able to shoot VGA the full length of the card. Joy! Hopefully, this card will be more reliable and last a long time.

Anybody else have a Microdrive go bad?
