|You have not "seen a lot of bitching about the CMS and System Software."
|There was some, concerning only the 80 MB models, only with system 6.0,
|only with old versions of the formatter & installer.

As I was doing the "bitching" - actually just a couple of messages asking
for info - I'd like to agree with Alexis.  I couldn't get my CMS SD80 to
work with System 6.0 and beyond, but it just turned out I had an ancient
installer (and presumably ancient drivers).  After getting the newest
installer, 6.0.2 works great, as does my CMS drive.

|CMS drives are good reliable equipement. Not flashy, but very solid and very
|cheap.

Agreed completely.
