[stuff deleted about 40Q probs]

I've been running a Quantum 105Q 24 hours a day for about nine months
now with no problems. I've also had 80S's and 40Q's running in various
Amigas for almost two years with no ill effects.

In my experience, Quantum drives are very reliable. I have seen a few bad
ones come out of the box, but VERY few failures.
