Haha, I guess you're alluding to the massive scam
with the bricks,
Miniscribe did back them to pretend stocks full of disk drives...
Never heard the story. Can someone oblige?
BTW, are there any other similar stories from the disk
drive buisiness
back in these days?
I don't know about disk drives, but there are lot of scam stories. One
minicomputer manufacturer (sorry, don't remember who, but I think it was on
the 128 belt) was shipping empty cabinets, in order to meet projections (I
dunno if they couldn't afford the parts to build the guts, or if their
manufacturing division couldn't build the stuff, or what).
