See, now is not exactly what I've experienced.  SBC (at least GENERICSBC_2)
has the same symptoms as 2 above, except the blocks do show up as bad on
both fsck and Mac-side formatter utils.

My problems keep getting worse, too.  Not just new files, but old ones
which were previously uncorrupted (even ones which I've written since
starting to have problems) are now becoming unreadable.

This is _very_ strange.  And quite debilitating.

What should I do???
