... various comments about a Quantum disk that goes into "never-never land":
I'm having the same problem with the internal drive of a brand-new Mac-IIci.
I couldn't get the disk to fail when I stripped all other scsi devices
off the bus (and ran Apple's hard disk test overnight).  I suspect, therefore,
that it might be a bus-noise problem (I have a 12 foot bus with a CD rom and
two additional hard drives).  If I can duplicate it with the Apple CD
rom drive attached, I'll assume it's a warranty problem, otherwise, I'll
probably have to deal with it myself.

As always, "exit editors often" and take frequent backups.

Martin.
