1)  Having a *major* problem on a PC/AT running XENIX. I get read
errors (XENIX can access seemingly random blocks) from the
hard disk (30 MB version). The obvious "*shoot* a bad disk..."
was thought of first, then after having the hard disk, its
controller etc. XENIX was reloaded and after a couple of days
of work bad blocks again... Has anyone out had the same
problem?  We're starting to suspect XENIX (does Micro-Stuffed
have bugs... in their Too-Soft-to-Wear) device drivers etc.
Better yet any fixes *reasonable* suggestions?

2)  Also, any suggestions on how to speed up LN-ing files and
libs?  We're using the Middle (Earth?!) Model and only elves
can have the patience to wait for ln's to get done.
