(win95 scandisk found 500k of bad } blocks on the HP drive, which worries me a bit) Hmm, 500.000 bad blocks on a single drive ??? Guess you really got some hardware problem ... Can you try a more recent kernel ? A few small changes have gone into the NCR driver, and one particular fix might help in your case. I don't currently understand, why it might make a difference, but it is reported to have helped in one other case where the system didn't work reliable. I could send you a patch, or make a kernel available via FTP.
