Alright,
I've got a Micropolis 9 Geg SCA drive connected to a 7880 adaptec
controller via a SCA to Wide scsi adapter, (none of the jumpers on the
adapter are set I don't know what they do) every time I copy  or move a
group of files and folders one or two of the folder's contents have
their names converted to things like _¢P=ª_^.G_ at the destination.

The only way I can remove the files is to format the partition or use
Norton disk doctor.

The scsi firmware low level format does nothing, surface test comes up
clean, there are no bad sectors, scan disk, norton utilities disk
doctor, NT check disk, and partition magic all think the drive is fine.
The ONLY thing I've found is I can NOT create an NTFS partiton on the
drive. But I can create FAT LINUX and HPFS

I know this is a rare problem so I posted it in a lot of groups, I'm
desperate for any suggestions on what it might be, if it has anything to
do with the adapter, if there's a fix or a test to verify the problem
PLEASE HELP.
