I don’t know how the software actually works, but for me the biggest disadvantage to this kind of software (and the Clicker from Serdashop) is that they do not distinguish between 100% disk seeks (from first to last sector) and track-to-track seeks. The latter at often almost inaudible and/or …

My mechanics are partially broken (Tray open), but here is a closeup of the Circuit Board. It contains OTI012 Interface Chip. OTI011 is inside some NEC Drives, maybe NEC Driver will work then.
