A guy in my user group was talking (this past summer) about his bad experience
with Ehman.  Apparantly, they claimed their drives were compatible with all
IIgs w/Apple's SCSI card, but the drive he received didn't work with his IIgs.
It didn't work with the dealer's IIgs, nor his friend's.  He sent it back in
and a few months later received another one which didn't work.  He returned it
and after much hassle and many toll phone calls received his money back.  (BTW,
the drives worked flawlessly with Macs...)  One of his techie friends thought
it was some kind of problem with the drive being improperly terminated.

I was kind of disappointed, 'cause I was shopping for a hard drive and thought
that Ehman's drives looked like real bargains.  I finally got a 40 meg Vulcan
from AE and am satisfied 'cept for the lack of space.  :-)
