	I own a MicroTech Nova 30.  It is about 15 months old.  When it
was about 6 months old, it died.  The MicroTech people were curteous,
and my drive was repaired and returned promptly.
	I do not know what is required to upgrade a MicroTech drive to
be IIci compatible.  MicroTech has a LOT of drives floating around out
there in userland.  I can understand their desire not to see dozens or
hundreds of those drives back for an upgrade to be compatible with a 
piece of hardware the drives were not warranteed to work with to begin
with.  (That sentence needs liposuction.)
	It would be nice if they could meet us halfway though.  I am
considering getting a IIci myself, and would like to use my Nova with
it.  Perhaps MicroTech could offer an upgrade for a SMALL fee??? Can you
here me MicroTech???
