I just tried to look up a Quantum drive on their site and could not find the
archives any more. Certainly the links produced by a Google search for mthe
drive are either dead or redirected to their index page.
Is this another company which has just decided to remove all of their
historic documents or am I looking in the wrong place?

Quantum just exited the disk drive business. I guess their web master
assumed that means to yank all disk related content.

Some archived information on Quantum disk drives can be found at Maxtor's
home page (www.maxtor.com) under "product archives. Maxtor bought out
quantum's disk drive operations.

I've always had very good luck with Quantum drives. They're
to be found in many a Mac and when I was using Amiga's constantly,
the Quantum's seemed to be the preferred drive there as well. Fewer
problems with them than any other type in my A3000 and A4000.

Quantum is going to make tape drives using technology they got from
DEC when Q bought D's disk drive business... Q didn't really want
the tape business, but D insisted :) Aint it funny how life turns
out sometimes...
c
PS I looked a one of Q's more recent DLT drives... Uses the exact
same loader tape mechanism as the TK50 :)
