	[Harv tells how he solved the problem by installing a fan in
the HD case] I had virtually the same thing happen. A1000, Supra
interface and box, Miniscribe 8425 drive. I got so disgusted with the
errors that I bought a new drive for my A1000, a Quantum 80S, but since
there was room for a second drive in the new, large, fan-cooled box, I
had 'em put the Miniscribe in there, too.

	It works like a champ; no errors. The old Supra box was not only
fanless, it was rather small, and overheated easily. Anyone having
intermittent HD errors with this setup should invest in a fan.
