Listen for yourself

I'm not affirming or denying the issue, but 47min into one guys podcast, hardly constitutes a reason not to remove an old drive to get the info off it.

Done it 100 times, never had one die in the transport. If there was any statistically noticeable value to this, it would be well known.

I still do this with OLD Windows 3.1 drives... Never a problem here.

Windows 3.1 did not support networking, you would either have to install a networking solution or " Upgrade " to Windows 3.11 for workgroups.

Yeah, when I saw "Windows 3.1" I thought the same thing. But there was also a "Windows for Workgroups 3.1".

Windows for Workgroups 3.1 (not 3.11) supported SMB and IPX, but not TCP/IP. Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (which I remember purchasing in 1993) eventually had TCP/IP support.
