My machine is less than a year old. We do much of our own maintenance here at the Labs, and the repairman was able to align the drive so that he could get off the few files that had changed since my last backup. He ran it all night without a hitch, but when he popped it back in my machine it failed again. So, it was sent back to Apple for repair. The repairman told me that the 40MB drives go out all the time. The 20MB and the 80MB seem to be much more reliable. He likes the Jasmine drives; he says they are very solid. -- Jim Gish GTE Laboratories, Inc., Waltham, MA CSNET: jgish@gte.com UUCP: ..!harvard!bunny!jwg1
