 I sold a drive (IIRC, a micropolis 85MB) that would spool up and then
 do a couple of "ching-chings" and worked fine. I tested the livin'
 daylights out of it; no problems, but many folks told me and the
 fellow I sold it to that it would die immediately. 
So how long has the guy you sold it to been using it?  (I've had bad
luck with the Micropolis 40MB drives in some AT&T 3B1s). 
I had it for >3 years, he had it for two more, now his grandson has
it... So far, so good.

The Micropolis I stuck in my AT&T has been dropped twice and 
actually caught on fire once!  Still works too...  Believe it or not,
chkdsk and scandisk both give it the 100% ok.
