I had a couple of small routers/dialup machines built around 486s with a 1542CF (no need for the multi-io card, it drives the floppy to) and FreeBSD (this was around 2.1.* era) and had zero problems with corruption even when they were busy - I hate a tape drive one of them since it doubled as a backup server.
