	I recently posted an article regarding problems with my 1581.  (Many
thanx to all who helped.... :)  I recall reading in this newsgroup a while
back about people having the controller chip replaced.  At the time, my drive
had been used for about 4 months with no problems at all.  Now it is destroying
almost every disk I use!  (Yes, I've stopped using it for the moment...)
	My question is where did those of you who had the replacement done
get it done?  Did you send the drive off to Commodore, or did you have it
serviced locally?  Needless to say, my drive is no longer under warranty.
Any help is appreciated.


Thanx in advance,

K W Smith, Jr.
