We have two EMAC 20's, bought about a year ago.  One of them has a marked
tendency to cause a burning smell, accompanied by 1) the drive no longer
functioning and 2) the SCSI port on the Mac no longer functioning.  We've
lost 2 SCSI ports this way.  The drive is on its way to be fixed for the
third time (why we bother, I don't know).

Our Computer Store has stopped carrying Everex drives because of "reliability
problems".
