That's a good point.  We've had some bad used drives from one vendor
that we'll never use again (Global Micro), and some great used drives
from vendors who have been excellent (like computergiants.com).

However, neither company knew what an HP 3000 was (hmm, sort of like HP?).

If I'd known that Wayne was a reseller, I'd certainly have considered
buying from him!  He knows the system, the community, and is readily
available.

thanks,

Stan
