I don't remember seeing this posted before, so here goes:

From the September MacWorld:

"APPLE TO FIX PROBLEM HARD DISKS

"Apple has extended the repair policy on its Apple Hard disk 40SC 40MB hard
disks with serial numbers 335507 to 1023016 due to the drives' high rate of
failure at start-up.  Users of failed drives with serial numbers in that range
will receive another hard disk free through June of 1990, according to Apple.
The company will also reimburse customers who have already paid for repairs.
For more information, contact your dealer."

Hope this helps all you folks whose lamentations I've been reading of late...
