[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Problem with Miniscribe hard disks frying--suggestions?

grig8348@fredonia.UUCP (LoyEllen Griggs) (02/22/89)

Please pardon if this came up before but a friend of mine is having 
problems with Miniscribe hard disks.  He's just had six of them burn out 
in less than that many months.  Now he has a certificate good for one 
free disk, but is wary about whether to take it.  The disks are in
different types of machines with varying controllers.

This guy has been a hardware specialist for fifteen years, so I don't 
think it has to do with anything obvious except to Miniscribe users 
who've experienced a similar problem.  I therefore would like to draw 
on the vast experience of the net.  Please e-mail any similar problems 
you've heard about, or suggestions as to why this is happening, 
and many thanks in advance.
