I had the PROM on my 80 meg Quantum replaced about two months ago and I
am VERY disappointed with the current performance of my drive.  The
drive decides to exercise the heads every couple of minutes.  During
this "exercise" period, the noise is tremendous and the disk access is
about 10 times slower than normal.  The Apple dealer said that this
would go away in a month.  Now the question -- If I bitch and moan to my
dealer, is there any chance of getting a new drive?  The current status
is not acceptable!  Any other options? (I don't want to buy a new drive)
