Hmmm...  Not happy to hear about your experience with the
Miniscribe, since that's what I've got in my 3B1.

A comment about Tandons.  I have a 6300 as well.  Started out
with a 10MB Tandon drive that wore out before the warranty
expired.  The next Tandon drive wore out within the next 9 months.
I had a BBS, so my machine ran 24 hours/day, which might
have had something to do with it.  I finally put in a 20MB
Seagate - with a YEAR warranty instead of the 3 month warranty
that went with the Tandons.  So far so good - after 5 months,
it still sounds the same.  No screeching, no grinding.
At this point, I would not buy another Tandon.
