Well, we had to go to a more conventional Adaptec for the Linux boxes
[BSD was just great with the Buslogic], but since all of the Micropolis
2 Gig drives failed with bearing faults, and Micropolis reacted with a 
3-4 week repair and return policy, we've replaced them....

So, we don't have the problem any more.
