I swear to god, I will NEVER purchase another Supra product for as long as I live! I to bought a Supra Drive unit, and got NOTHING but errors, Gurus, and system crashes. I had to send it in to be looked at, and all that Supra did was make fake (and outrageously lame excuses) to what was wrong with it. Ever since it was bought, it screwed up almost every 15-25 minutes. and it never did get fixed.. Whenever i sent it in to get looked at, all that Supra said was "Well, you had a bad chip" or "We had to fix your cable" or my altime favotie "We put in the autoboot chip wrong".. If these resons arn't enough to stop ANYBODY from buying a Supra, I dont know what is.. Anyways, I now own a nice new GVP Series ][ for my A500, and I can tell you, i never have had ANY problems what so ever. -- Philip Sokolowski (__) Moooooo 31700 Lexington Hgts.
