As fate usually has it, the drives are already as good as
gone. They are being picked up this weekend by someone who
will be in town for a special event.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks again. I hadn't thought of connecting them
to a Mac for testing. I shall do that today to be
sure they work before passing them on.  8o)
