I shall, of course, gratefully accept you're advice and try Toshiba
website (if I can find the address!), but I don't really hold much
hope in this direction since these HDDs' are probably quite old and
will be no longer covered. (I mean between 2 and 5 years old. No
manufacture dates available on them.)

I tried a similar path when I bought my Panasonic 21"
Monitor-manufactured Dec. '97-but was not included in the last 100
products listed on the Panasonic site.

However, I will try and hope that if I find the specs. in question,
they won't be too technical for me to understand.

Again, many thanks for you're time.

Tom.
