Emerald also melted down.

They were popular with VARs for awhile bcause they supported Concurrent DOS.

I got pissed at them because they refused to upgrade the software for their 60-Meg QIC drives to include compression. They said they'd give me a trade-in for a new drive. The trade-in "deal" was considerably more than the distributor price for the new drive. All I needed was a bit more space on what my clients already had.

Then they pissed off everyone because the software for their new drives did a great job of backing up, but not such a good job of restoring.

May they roast in hell along with CMI (and hopefully, eventually, Iomega).
