Ya know those nice little 110MB 3.5" hard drives in the Sun SPARCstations?
Well, they're not getting any younger around here (well, neither am I).
We've got a bunch of SPARCstations over here, and the little 3.5" beasts
have been dropping like... hmmm....  nevermind.  Nonetheless, we've had
three disks in trouble, and it's gotten my curiosity up.

Has anybody else seen an unusual mortality rate for SPARCstation 1 hard
disks?  Or was this just a lucky fluke?
