 Da> Not quite ancient, but still from the early 90's, my 4gig SCSI hard drive

I found all the SCSI drives from about 2-4Gb of that age horribly unreliable.
In fairness and retrospect it may have been the controllers but they were
mostly AHA-1522 or similar adaptec cards.  But the handbrake at the time
tried on in her desktop install linux, and it'd be forever corrupts and wind
up with crosslinked files.  I also had the same issue trying it in the file
server of the day too.  Even the IIgs didn't like it much which was something
because it tended to talk to everything nicely.
