Some time ago I worked for a large minicomputer vendor who also had a
problem installation in a warehouse.  I vividly remember the frequent
soft disk errors.  When the FE went to investigate the large 3330 type
drive, it didn't take too long before he found the cause.  A field
mouse had gotten into its large tread-mill style blower.  Thereafter we
(unofficially, to be sure) refered to that drive model as the mouse-a-matic.
