Inner Hard Drive News

[archm@pro-scat.cts.com (Arch Mirrielees)]

Following is a copy of a message sent today to the former owner of an
InnerDrive who sold me his InnerDrive second hand.  The deal was made with
us both knowing it had a boo boo, and that I would try to fix it and, if
not, I would try to get it fixed - with us sharing the cost.

It is being offered due to its general interest value.

Roy - here's the poop on what's happening.  (Am doing this for my own note
taking as well as to keep you informed.)
 
I got the name of a guy that repairs InnerDrives:  BILL HEINEMAN, Custom
Software, Inc., 7734 S. Broadway Rd., Whitter, CA  90606.  PH =
310/695-3966.
 
Phone call to Bill developed:
1.  He is no longer in the InnerDrive repair business.
2.  He passed on his repair stock, references, good will, etc. to:
    LARRY BEYER
    B & D Computer Repair
    6115 S. Massasoit Ave.
    Chicago, IL  60638
    312/735-9010
***3.  Reason for Bill's change is that he is now making solid state inner
hard drives - on a card.  Has 'em already in the low sizes (40 meg, etc)
and is working on a 100 size at this time.  Interesting eh?
 
Phone call to Larry developed:
1.  I will send "our" 100 megger to him for repair.
2.  If the problem is _not_ the drive itself, cost should be under $100.
3.  If the drive itself is the bummer, the cost could be in the $300 +
range and, if the choice is not to buy into this, he will buy it for
around $50 for parts, but take off that his cost of looking at it =
probably close to a wash.
 
He prefers UPS shipping because Uncle Sam does not leave parcels at the
door if no one is at home.
 
Hope you aced _all_ your exams.  And, will post this on the net because I
think others will be interested.
