I don't know about disk drives, but there are lot of scam stories. One
minicomputer manufacturer (sorry, don't remember who, but I think it was on
the 128 belt) was shipping empty cabinets, in order to meet projections (I
dunno if they couldn't afford the parts to build the guts, or if their
manufacturing division couldn't build the stuff, or what).
