I have been plagued with errors like:

	HD Error on drv 1 cyl %d head %d sec %d, ID not found

for the past couple of days. This is reminicant of the 2.3 two
drive bug. I get the above error on the console, and the machine
goes out to lunch. It continues to spit out the error until I
reboot.

The first time this happened, I thought that it might actually
be real. I backed up the second hard disk, performed a low level
format and ran SpeedStor on it to locate any bad places. I let
the SpeedStor run overnight, and it only found the tracks listed
on the top of the drive. I reinstalled everything back on the
second drive and ran fine for a few more days.

Then it happens again. I am not going to duplicate the low level format
effort again, as this is definately not the problem. The controller
works, the drive works.

Has anyone else had this problem (and possibly a solution for it--besides
buy SCO). I thought that Microport had fixed the two drive bug, but now
I am not so sure.
