I've had excellent response from MicroNet.  I bought a Quantum-based
80MB drive from them a year ago.  When it died the first time after
five months they replaced it within 48 hours.  When it went a second
time they gave me a 100MB Connor drive.  (They've given up on Quantum
for the time being.)  I don't believe it would be right to hold them
responsible for Quantum's quality problems and have nothing but praise
for their tech support people.

BTW, I bought my MicroNet through MacLand in Arizona, an example of
everything a mail order operation should be.

Usual disclaimers apply.
