I've spent the last month fighting the exact same problem.  I could copy a
file (vmunix was my primary example,) compare them, and find I had two
different files!

Well I now believe we've conquered the problem.  After discussions with
Micropolis it seems that some of the drives they ship don't come with the
current ROMs.  The drives I have now work reliably (and have been doing so for
a whole week of brutal testing.)

To summarize, the drives I have right now are ROM Version 19V0 (rzdisk -i
<raw-device> gives you this info, as does test -c in the ROM monitor.)
