So does this mean that the PTF updates code on the drive to keep some sort of arm down or block in place to prevent the staticky part of the tape from coming in contact with things? I don't understand how a PTF could stop a fuse from blowing - anyone have any details? The "more details" of the notification below really didn't say how. Justin C.
