Not to mention the fact that their tech support is dismal. I just called  
them up to get configuration info on their 1.7G drive for a cube, and they  
faxed me what I already have that came with the drive.....TWICE. Totally  
useless and clueless is what I got. They say that they do not supply info  
specific to a computer make! Anybody got info out there on how to  
configure one of these puppies for use in a 040 cube??????

Or maybe I should just send it back on their nickel and buy a drive from a  
company that gives a SHIT about their customer.
