Darned shame you had such problems with the CMS's products. The odd thing is
that I've had a Seagate based 20 meg on my Mac II, (since relocated to
the Mac II) for about 8 months and have had no problems. I've been using
version 3.2A of the utility software and have had no problem with 
lost sectors, though the very early software (the stuff that said "by
CMC") did seem kind of flakey. As I understood it, some of the internal
drives, like the Pro 80, were intended to be bolted directly to the metal
platform that also holds the floppy drive USING SPACERS. If the spacers
were missing, it would account for the fact that the screws seemed much too
long. The person answering the phone told you to buy the drive to find out
who's mechanism they were using? Tacky. I've never tried getting phone
support, rather I go via MACUS (on Compuserve). Charles McConathy of
CMS does go through the message section frequently, and has been very
helpful as far as software updates and Mac II installations go. Why the
person answering the phone should have been so secretive as to what drive
was being used is beyond me, since CMS's current full color ads clearly
show that (in the case of the 80's, anyway) they are using a Quantum.
