My nephew bought a Packard-Bell XT (80186 processor) with mono monitor
and 30 MB HD (looks like Seagate). It developed a problems such that
it began to have trouble reading the HD when it was warm but could do
it when cold. I suggested a re-low level format, but did not push it
since it was not my machine and it was still under warranty. I later
heard that other PB machines had developed similar problems and that
PB was replacing some part (? HD or controller) under warranty. It is
now said to work O.K.
