[comp.sys.mac] Everex problems

I don't know the original discussions on this subject, but I also have
had problems with an Everex product--a 90 MB hard disk installed into
my Mac II.  The dealer had talked me into this package deal which 
included the Everex.  The drive gave me problems from Day 1, up to and
including a crash with 40 MB worth of (fortunately backed-up) information
on it.  Later, I brought some pressure to bear on the dealership to 
replace the drive with an Apple 80 MB hard drive.  Because of these
experiences, I cannot recommend Everex products to Mac users.

I sincerely hope no one else in Everex is reading this; it's my head
for what I'm about to say.

I talked to an Everex engineering manager about the reputation of
Everex customer support.  He said it was bad.

Ouch.

On the other hand, I am now willing to forward any/all problems with
Everex hardware to the people who should handle them.
