I've also heard that IBM isn't shipping any more ATs.  On the other hand,
our dealer said today that he just got one in stock, with hard disk even.

The hard disk definitely has problems.  Another one of ours bit the dust last
week, getting increasing numbers of read errors to the point that it became
unusable.  Reformatting with the advanced diagnostics did NOT help.

I've heard vague rumors that there is a logic error on the controller board
that leaks a little write current when reading, but nothing concrete.  IBM,
of course, claims that everything is just fine.  This is the most confusing
situation I've run into in a long time.
