I don't think the problem is with the hard disk itself, but rather with 
the information contained in the boot blocks of the disk. The 0F0003 code
means that an illegal instruction was executed (this is this important 
part) AFTER the initial self tests are finished. This would seem to me to
be during the boot blocks. 

To fix the problem, replace the boot blocks on the disk. This can be done
by dragging a new system and finder from a diskette into the system folder
of the hard disk. If you are using system 6.0, there is a program supplied
(called "Sys 6.0 Boot Blocks") which can be used to automatically install
new boot blocks onto the hard disk. Once the new boot blocks are installed,
all the problems should disappear.
