I just had an annoying experience involving a Fujitsu M2934SA SCSI2
4.1GB disk drive.  There's a label that warns you not to connect the
drive housing to ground.  Apparently, if you use the middle screw
holes, it is easy to produce a ground connection.  The drive then
plays dead.

Of course I tested everything with the lid off and no screws.  After
reassembly, nothing worked. Brought me a few months closer to my first
stomach ulcer...


Good luck -- Volker
