I would be extremely interested to find out how many other people have had
an Apple 80M drive fail on a IIcx. One month after my warranty ran out I
also lost a drive. 

It cost me $560 to trade in, and the replacement acted flakey for a while,
but has settled down.

So how about it? If you've had an Apple 80M drive get trashed, post a
notice, lets get an idea of how bad a situation this is. 

If there are enough postings it can give us ammo against Apple releasing 
flakey products that croak just after 90 days.
