Well, I'll add that the Qume drives aren't my favorites--my workhorse drives are Siemens FDD-200. Really well-built units with lots of jumper options. The Qume 842s that I use are as backups. In general, I don't care for half-height 8" units of any manufacture. Like the slimline 5.25" and 3.5" drives, they don't seem to hold up as well as their larger relatives. --Chuck
