If CMI couldn't ship reliable drives to IBM, what makes you think
you'd have better luck? Why mess around with a company with such a bad
reputation when there are companies like Fujitsu and CDC?  CDC's Wren
series, especially, is of outstanding performance, quality, and value.
Out of four 182 megabyte drives, three had few defects and one has NO
defects.
