[comp.sys.mac] Drive comments. Cirrus this time, was Microtech & Jasmine

I dropped my 70 Meg LaCie Cirrus yesterday.  I was riding the Orange
Line (one of the subway lines in Boston) and had set it on the seat.
I then shifted my position and in the process, shoved it onto the
floor.  It made enough noise landing that people looked up to see what
happened.

I was worried.  But I was also backed up fairly recently--which we all
know prevents disk death of all kinds.

When I got home I plugged it in and .... and ....  It Worked!!  I get
to work today and it still works!  (I am using it now.)

It was in its padded case when it landed, by the way.

It is a 70 Meg Cirrus bought around Christmas last year.  I think it
has an Epson mechanism, but I can't remember.

Chalk up one satisfied LaCie customer.  (And please don't tell LaCie
about my dropping it, at least until my warrantee runs out in a few
months.  I still might need service in the next few months...)
