I've "cured" the problem by dumping my disk to backup and reformatting the 105 from scratch, then I reload the disk. I've only had to do this twice in roughly 2 years. Lately the 105 occationally has the oscillatory-seeking problem but it's not bad enough to reformat. Mind you, I shouldn't have had to put up with the problem. Mind you, again, it's great "advertising" when friends and associates drop over.
