	Well it's been over 5 weeks since the new ROM "fix" was installed
on my 80 meg Quantum drive, and contrary to what Apple and Quantum are
trying to tell us, my drive is still going thru these noisy exercise
routines that slow the drive response down by at least 4 times. In fact,
my drive is doing it right at this moment.
	To bad Apple and Quantum can't just be honest and try to come up
with a REAL solution. Maybe they could even let people like me trade up
to a 105 drive for a small fee.
