I have a pair of them running under ISC UNIX 2.2 (they were originally
setup under 386/ix 2.0.2).  I have them connected to a DPT ESDI Caching 
controller with 2 1/2 MB of disk cache.  the system is up 24 hours a day
7 days a week for the past year and I have had no disk problems (although
the maxstor 680MB drive I had in there crashed when I dropped the machine
during an office move).
