If you are planning to purchase a hard drive soon from Hard Drives
International (HDI), be sure to emphasize that you would like a 
TESTED drive and the CORRECT CORDS.  I convinced a Mac user at work
that he should buy from these guys, since I had purchased a POWERDrive
Quantum 105meg for my //GS a month ago and have been very happy with it.
Well, he got his drive yesterday.  It came with a EUROPEAN power cord!
(Notice we live in Oregon)  He stole the cord from his printer to power 
it up, and the drive was totally dead!

I have heard of only one other person through the net that has had problems
with HDI.  Is there incompetence common, or are these just flukes?

Nothing against HDI's drives, once you get a functional one (they have good
prices, too).  I love mine.  I'm just concerned that I have recommended an 
irresponsible company.
