For those of us unfortunate enough to have purchased Jasmine HDs during the
terrible year of 1988, Jasmine is offering a deal worth examining. They are
offering to exchange the damaged drive for a new, double-capacity, 2 year-wa-
rranty drive (including new versions of the 10MB of stuff they bundle) at
a price "below their manufacturing cost".  In my case, they are exchanging
an Innerdrive 45 SE (with a damaged platter assembly) for a brand new (?)
Direct Drive 80.  The low price for the exchange is US$199.

Now, what do you guys think of this deal? Is this one of the strategies that 
Jasmine is pursuing to woo its unsatisfied costumers, or is this just a way
to recycle the returned-damaged-and-now-repaired HDs of previous months?

I hope to hear from you soon, for I think this is a most tempting offer.
