I can't comment on the HDS3200's specifically, but a couple of years
ago we did buy about 20 HDS2000's and HDS200's. They were complete
junk. Many broke within the warranty period, the rest shortly there-
after. Today there are only six or so still running (most of which
were repaired serveral times. Repairs were board replacments at $150-
$300 a shot. HDS was completely unresponsive to our complaints.
Needless to say, they get a thumbs-down from me.
