I would be interested in receiving copies of your responses as well. I
have suffered the second failure of the 141 MB drive (Micropolis) in a
3/50 shoebox in the past 12 months. Needless to say, I am not too happy
with Sun or Micropolis. I think two defective diskdrives in the space of
one year is unacceptable.
