Well, I've got another piece of bad news. I was talking to my
NeXT sales rep yesterday. He had just gotten his 40 MB accelerator
drives. Guess what, they ARE Quantum drives and he didn't know
which firmware these drives had. Sigh, I think Apple just stuck
it to their old buddy Steve. Maybe someone from NeXT could check with
Quantum to see whether they're ready for a HOLE bunch of returns!
