I've had disk errors with a number of different disk configurations.
The original configuration was a Seagate 4051 and 4038.  The 4051 eventually
died a horrible death (unrelated problem), and was temporarily replaced
with a 251.  The intermittent I/O errors were still there.  Now I have a
Tandon 3085 along with the old 4038, and I can still create I/O errors
using the cpio -p test.  So it's not just limited to the 4096.

I have a WD WA2 controller in an ACER 900 10MHz.
