We've just recently had two IIcx's with 80MB internals that have been
acting up.  I didn't realize that other people had been having this
problem.  Luckily we're still under the warranty period (not by much
though) the replacement drive isn't going to have this same problem is it?


One of the drives did the strangest things on monday.  It had been dead for
over a week (I had set up an hd20sc external on the system while we were
waiting for the replacement hd80) and suddenly came back to life!  Needless
to say, we immediately grabbed a backup of the device and reinitialized it
(as if that will do any good in this situation, or does it?)
