Somewhat off the subject but - I have great luck with Trimarchi drives.  This 
drive was a notable exception to the rule.  About a year ago I tried hooking 
the Laserase up to a PDP-11.  I gave up on the drive when RSTS Backup (VMS 
style backup) got verification errors when doing a backup/verify from another 
SCSI disk.  I would strongly suggest you try writing something and verifing 
when you get your other problems solved.  It was about one error in every 50MB.
