If you must use the word "expensive" to describe Quantum drives, it is irresponsible of you to not also include the word "quality." >The point is that Commodore seems to ignore most things and do >entirely as they please and the customer is not supposed to say >anything and live with it. Be honest. You're complaining because you replaced the high-quality hard drive Commodore supplied you, with a slower, less reliable HD and now you complain that, in trying to supply reliable equipment, "Commodore is just doing entirely as it pleases?" One question should be addressed immediately however: Does the 3000 manual list your Seagate 1097N (or whatever) as a recommended or supported drive in the 3000? If so, you have a complaint. If not, please refrain from blaming Commodore.
