Gary, I may be wrong (and I'm sure a lot of folks will chime in if I am),
but it seems to me that most of the drives I look at, even modern ones, have
that thin-wire construction connecting head to board. I don't think that's
unusual, and C*dore probably didn't get much choice from their vendor, or at
least see a need to choose a vendor that could supply something different
from what may have been the norm. --Patrick
