Nope - I just tried it; it's fine. (Even in my old Firefox 26. [They're
up to 56/57 now.]) The direct download for the executable is

.

Yep, that works. It's downloading now. Will take about 20 min to
download on dialup. but it's working, and I'm up to 32% downloaded.
I'd forgotten how slow dialup is - it's only 1.59 MB!
However, I fear (you'd have seen from the page) it may not work before
XP-SP3. Though should work on your XP machine, but you'll need the
USB-to-IDE cable we've been discussing (I assume that machine has USB
ports). Or your slow XP machine from the shed. (Depending on why that
one _is_ slow, the ailing drive might work better on it. Or worse!)
I checked what I was using for SMART on my Win98 install:
SpeedFan:

Also AIDA32, but it's no longer maintained and a bit overkill.
