I'm not sure about the chapter 11 stuff but today I received a Miniscribe
3180E from Austin Computer (who hasn't, btw, heard that Miniscribe isn't
taking orders).  The mfg date on the drive was June 17, 1989.  Austin did
say that they have a hard time getting the 3180 drive but that is only
because Miniscribe can't make them fast enough.

BTW, the drive I received is to replace the one that came with my computer
in May.  It went TU with miscellaneous errors here and there for the last
6 weeks.  Maybe this is due to the media problems mentioned earlier in this
posting.  I hope this problem has been fixed.
