Paul,

     Thanks for the append.  Just an FYI, it looks like the discussion
here, which I forwarded some of to BreeceHill, has raised some eyebrows at
BreeceHill and Quantum.  The drive and power supply that we replaced was
returned to BreeceHill, and Quantum has downloaded the errors from the
drive (it stores this info, cool..), and the Quantum guy told BreeceHill
that we should not be seeing these types of errors.  No kidding ;-)  I am
on vacation next week, so the game plan here is that if Quantum cannot fix
the drive by 8/8, reps from BreeceHill and Quantum will be coming to our
site on 8/12 to capture the errors as the occur.

....this is worse than the "bleeding edge"...
