It's not dying, just giving SCSI errors that cause the backup to fail
after a minute (or 1:45s.) I have two Conner 4G disks in the machine
(identical other than the fact one is narrow and one is wide.) When I wish
to update the OS I simply move the jumper from one drive to the other
swapping SCSI ID0 and 1 and then do an install onto the other disk. Thus I
still have 2.1.5R on the other disk and can easily flip back to it if I
require. 2.1.5R had none of the problems that this 2.2 SNAP is producing.
