[net.micro.cbm] MSD Drives

dave@zinfandel.UUCP (04/26/85)

I purchased an MSD dual drive a couple of months ago and started having
problems from the start with (gulp) overheating.  After a couple of hours
of use (at room temperature), some of the files I was working on would
get damaged.  It would no longer successfully 'new' diskettes either.

There is a happy ending.  I called MSD, they gave me authorization to 
return it to the factory.  It only took a total of 13 days from the time
I dropped the old one off at the UPS office util I received the new one
(yes, they sent me a new drive)!  I only have played with the new drive
for a couple of minutes, but even so it has a 'cleaner' sound to it.
The old one had kind of a scraping sound.

Conclusion:  MSD is *very* responsive to problems.  They must have shipped
the drive back to me the same day!
