We've lost about 10 of the PLUS 40MB hardcards and I've been unable to find
any 4th party depot repair outfits that could fix them.  PLUS wants so much
to repair their hardcards that it is usually cheaper to purchase a new
hard drive and controller.  It is our present policy to throw PLUS hardcards
in the trash whenever encountered.
