Well, after a conference with Dan Crook today, the disk situation is
looking a bit better.  The UNIXA5 pack, which turned up bad after
being on drive A for a total of three hours, will be replaced with a
new one.  (Probably the pack we are now running as a loaner, in fact.)
UNIXA4 will be refurbished by PMI and then swapped for one of Terabit's
diagnostic packs.  The purpose of the swap is to give us a certified-
perfect pack; refurbishing only brings packs up to flag-free status.
As soon as we have a second pack in the door, we will attempt to run
production on drive A for a while, to check it out.  The last batch
of repairs seem to have worked, but we're a little hesitant about trying
it out until we can do a pack-to-pack copy as insurance.
