	Although I have heard this as well, my St 4096 (84 meg SCSI) has not
even burped in the nearly 3 years that I've had it.  Before that, we've run
two 80 meg MFMs on a BBS for about 4 years with no problems whatsoever...

	Both of them also are/were cached with PCKwik...anyone know if
caching is good or bad for a HD?
