Recently I was having problems with a 4G HD. Looked like the drive was
doomed as it was spinning up and down. Prior weeks it had simple random
errors. Opened the case and pulled the power plug from the drive. It
came out too easily. Crimped the pins a bit with needle nose pliers. Its
been running perfectly the past month.

One day when "camcontrol defects" works with IBM drives (and 1st
generation Adaptec 2940 in this case), then I'll see how many bad blocks
are in the grown list.

Its partly my fault for camcontrol not working as I haven't snipped the 
error messages and forwarded them to the appropriate places. Altho I 
have done same for Symbios/NCR and IBM combination.
