They have now.  Two weeks ago I sent my drive back to them for replacement.  I
included a detailed description of my problem and the steps I took to correct
it.  I also included relevant postings from comp.sys.amiga and c.s.a.hardware.
I fear the new unit won't fix the problem; I smell design flaw.  There is quite
a number of us who have the same problem, which indicates it's not just a
fluke.  I'll post when my replacement drive gets here.  (Should be about a week
yet, they're out of 40Meg Quantum drives at the moment.)
