My quantum trailblazer 840 has never given me any problems, even with the
old ncrscsi driver which I am still using.  My curent up time is 13 days,
and it is only that becuase of recent lightning strikes.  I think much more
attention needs to be paid to this question, I have half a dozen quantums
in this and other systems, and I have had no trouble.  It must be more
complex than just quantums don't follow spec, if that is even correct.
