So, I was really psyched on Friday when I got my new Seagate Medalist as a
replacement for my failing Quantum 1080S. I paused briefly at the
"Refurbished" sticker on the static bag, but figured, "it's an RMA,
they're not going to send me a new drive.."
Well, I sure wish they did. This morning, my alarm ("at 7:15 mixer line 50")
didn't wake me up. I woke up around 7:45 to a few timeout messages on the
console and a hung system. "Darned 2.2-ALPHA," I thought. I rebooted,
and the SCSI BIOS hung while trying to probe the drive. I turned the machine
off and on, and the new drive spun up and then started going CRUNCHACRUNCH
CLATTERCLATTER. Hooray.
So Seagate is going to send me another drive, I might have it by next week,
and who knows if this one is going to last more than 3 days either.
Sigh, back to Windows NT...
Bill
