I have a number of Mac's with quantum drives.
(Too many to lug down to a dealer and have them
check this for me)
As an example, the various numbers appearing
near the SCSI cable are:
  Q250                  88015-0533M
   76-45004                *80*
From the labelling style, it's clear that
the 88015-0533M is an apple number. The
Q250 is obviously the model #. Where does
the variation code appear? is it the 80?
is it the 76? the 45? the 4?
(I have heard the way to tell if a drive is in the bad
batch is by the variation code) Also, are the bad drives
in any machines but SE/30's and IIcx's ??
Thanks, Mike
