 Some time ago , I damaged a Quantum 80 meg scsi drive by the stupid
act of plugging the 50 way cable in , upside down on another device !.

 I contacted Quantum about parts , and promptly got a return fax telling
me about their sevice centres. As these centres are some what a long way
from me ( like try the width of the Pacific Ocean .. ) , I asked for
just the logic board , as the drive still passes self test , it just
wont talk to the SCSI bus. Ive not heard from them again.

 Since Quantum are not going to even talk to me about parts , does any
other 'netter' have a Q280 drive that has 'died' a mechanical death ,that
I could obtain the logic board from ?.

BTW - I have another Quantum drive , 105s , that im very impressed with , its
a pity about their service department ..
