U.C. San Diego Lines: 25 I'd just like to put in a word about my experiences with CMS. My experiences have been completely positive. My development hard disk had a fatal crash in October, and I needed a replacement immediately. I had heard that CMS had developer pricing, so I called about their 80meg Mac II internal. Like most other 80-Meg drives, it is a Quantum. I ordered it that day, payed rush charges ($50), and received it the next day COD. It has worked flawlessly, installed with no problem. Only problems were: the floppy with utilities was unreadable (the drive came pre-formatted, though, so I could boot without needing the floppy), and the manual claimed that the 80-Meg did NOT auto- park on power-down. I called CMS and they sent a new floppy out, and acknowledged that their manual was in error. A friend of mine has one of their internal 100-Meg drives. He's only had it for a couple of weeks, but he too has had no problem. In summary, I would buy from them any day (and in fact my business partner is buying one today).
