I think I have the problem figured out.  I thought it may be a cooling problem,
but after visiting the store and being told they don't make a bigger fan than
what I already had (and adding 2 more case fans to blow air around better),
the problem appears to be somewhat different:

Whenever the hard drives begin chattering quite a bit, the pitch of the fans
goes down slightly... I think I have a power problem.  Yep, coincidentally,
chucking a jaz cartridge into the jaz drive causes a crash... foo!

I guess it's time to actually get a couple of those external SCSI cases and
move all the SCSI devices out of the main case.  It's pretty full in there.

Real Programs don't use shared text.  Otherwise, how can they use
functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
