The hard disk  (20Meg) on my UNIXPC decided to STOP WORKING.
It was a sudden thing -- I turned it off for a 3-4 day period and
when I turned it back on, the harddisk does not respond!

Perhaps I should have left it on....

too late now. I have decided to take the hardwae drop-service repair contract
for ~$500 per annum.


any reason that people might know why it went bad -- TELL ME - ALSO
if anyone can suggest a NEW disk with better access time (half/full height)
please tell me.  -- I am also curious if it would be a problem if the mother-
board have drive and hard disk -- what would be compatible?

To top it off, I ordered the Tech Reference Manual and the service manual --
which THEY BACK ORDERED. -- AT&T get your act together.

(an aside -- my school's 3B5 is still not installed and working after one
calendar year.)
