  Ethan, my curious:  that HD, did it run hot or bit too
much warm?
 That is the primary problem.  PD1800S is old design and runs hot.
 Did that HD sit all cooped up behind bezel or internally? 
It was the only drive in a SPARC 1 (then moved to a SPARC 2, now it's on top
of a Sparc LX in its own case)  It works fine, it just glues the heads down
to the platters on power-down.  I don't power it off on purpose, but we lost
power for six hours last month, and *grab*.
