We've had a problem recently with one of our 1186 42M disk drives
crapping out, and one of our users said that there had been some
discussion on one of the PC nets on how the Seagate drives had a bad
capacitor that would eventually fry.  Does anyone know anything about
this? Our 86`s in general have been much more resilient than out 08's
and 09's, but I'd hate to have a whole rash of disks dieing off...
