Andy,
I'm pretty sure I don't know the answer to your question, but I want to say that in my limited experience, blaming the power supply is overrated. I got a new power supply to correct lockups and seg faults on the advice of my neighbor, and it didn't help at all. So I'm wondering if I bought a bad one. Are you getting the same errors with the new drive that you got with the old one?
Now, my neighbor is suggesting that it's the power company, screwing around with the waveform, so that the meter doesn't show the power loss from everyone's a/c units running in this weather. Sounds reasonable to me, especially since I've had a few lockups when I was running windows, and it seems to be worse when the weather is hotter.
Good luck, Greg
HI Greg, I'm a bit sceptical of the power supply as the source of the problem as well. I'd believe a heat issue over the power supply, but my other SCSI drive has never had any problems in that same environment, which I find most perplexing.
