Haha, I guess you're alluding to the massive scam with the bricks, Miniscribe did back
them to pretend stocks full of disk drives...
BTW, are there any other similar stories from the disk drive buisiness back in these
days?

And some Maxtor drives are Miniscribes. I have one (I think it's an
ESDI, IIRC) that has a beautiful Miniscribe HDA casting, with a Maxtor
label wrapped around it.
Ah, the good old days of brick-filled boxes...
