I have the 12gig IBM drive.
They are rumored to be the better than the fugi's
(the band and the drive)

Support has gotten back to me, I spent them a copy of the boot log. Where i am in the world relative to them makes communication slow. I'm not exactly sure how big the time diffrence is but it seems that they get my email just about the time i crash (about 3am my time)
i am also having other gremlins in my car. Yesterday my amp took a dump on me. It seems that 2 of the four channels took an early retirement. So im going to have to go back on the ramen noodle diet until i can afford a new amp.
Oh well such is life. What's the latin phrase?....Se' La Vie
