Re: "My external 5.25 drive has recently gone out of wack and occassionally
messes up a prodos catalog (which kills the disk)."

That's probably NOT a hardware.  There is a bug in ProDos 1.1.1 that will
trash track 0 (the catalog track) whenever the moon is full.  It has
something to with the new code that supports 3.5 inch disks.  A fix was
published in Open Apple a while back.  Until you get the fix, don't use
version 1.1.1.
