> In fact, MicroNet has put a freeze on purchasing ALL Quantum drives > until the problem is 100% fixed. The drive mechanism problem on the P-40S and > P-80S has replicated itself on the P-105S, but to a much lesser extent, so > before the 105's got really bad, MicroNet just basically told Quantum "call us > when it's fixed, we're not selling anything made by you until you do." > Well it's been over 5 weeks since the new ROM "fix" was installed on my 80 meg Quantum drive, and contrary to what Apple and Quantum are trying to tell us, my drive is still going thru these noisy exercise routines that slow the drive response down by at least 4 times. In fact, my drive is doing it right at this moment. To bad Apple and Quantum can't just be honest and try to come up with a REAL solution. Maybe they could even let people like me trade up to a 105 drive for a small fee. Peter Espen (espen@well)
