Until a couple of days ago, I was in the same boat.  I'd been running
this IDE drive as my boot disk on 386bsd,NetBSD-0.9 and NetBSD-current
since Feb93 with never a problem apart from occasionally hanging in
the filesystem.  Never needed to use a backup tape - which is good,
because apart from my Aug93 vintage 386bsd setup, restoring from tape
does not work.

The _day_ I installed the Feb12 kernel, it fried my /usr after issuing
a "lost interrupt" message.  The restore from backup tape failed as
expected...

I'm now running a SCSI only setup.
