I too, came in the other morning and my Mac II failed to see my internal
Apple 40MB HD.  My machine is less than a year old.  We do much of our own
maintenance here at the Labs, and the repairman was able to align the drive
so that he could get off the few files that had changed since my last backup.
He ran it all night without a hitch, but when he popped it back in my machine
it failed again.  So, it was sent back to Apple for repair.

The repairman told me that the 40MB drives go out all the time.  The 20MB and
the 80MB seem to be much more reliable.  He likes the Jasmine drives; he says
they are very solid.
