Now it's going to get messy.  Since I don't have an agreement from IBM, and
I don't have a new machine, they're going to charge me to replace the disk
drive on a machine I don't even own.

How much you ask?  Approximately $2300 to replace a disk drive that
supposedly should never fail on a machine I should never own.  At this
point, I'm going to call over to iSeries Nation and see what happens.

I'll let you all know.
