I've used two Amiga 2000's with GVP hardcards, Quantum 40M drives on them.
One of the Amigas wasn't used very much.  The other was used heavily for
software development.

Right now these Amigas are about one year old.  Within the past six weeks,
both of them have had trouble booting from the hard drives.  I don't believe
that this is a coincidence.

After reading the recent InfoWorld article about Apple's alleged problems with
the same type of hard drive, I suspect I've learned what the problem is.

Other than this HELLISHLY ANNOYING problem, which manifests every two weeks or
so now, the drives have worked beautifully.  The problem seems to go away if
you calm down and pray overnight.
