I have had nothing but trouble with Jasmine.  I'm on my 3rd 80 meg drive
and the third new ROM for the drive.  I have also been to see their
operation,  and the assesment abou the tech assembling from a crowded table
is right.  They rarely test the drives that go to customers.  According to a
Jasmine person,  "If we can copy the PD software on to the drive, it must be
ok!".  Jeez,  give me a major break.
