Hmm. I've seen a couple of messages about problems with Quantum 730's,
and wanted to add one data point for the other side. So far, I've
been runnig my NetBSD system w/ a <QUANTUM, LIGHTNING 730S, 241E>
w/o problems (related to the drive ;-) . Since I'm writing this note
on my NetBSD system, it might choose to act up, but my setup
has been stable.

I've got an old Conner 40 Apple drive in my IIsi, and the Quantum,
my Toshiba 3401 CD, and a Quantum LPS 240 all in an external case
(a clone mini tower from NCA).

I'm not sure what to suggest for other folks who've had problems.
Hopefully, though, someone can make sense of all our different
observations.

Take care,

Bill
