The problem seems to have been a faulty disk, (not a faulty bus) and that
seems to have caused hard errors on the other two devices which have since
worked fine (subsequent to the faulty disk being replaced.)
Special thanks to the 15 plonkers who's Microsoft Exchange servers send 'Out
of office AutoReply' to list mail. You know what: WE DON'T CARE THAT YOU'RE ON
HOLIDAY! And to the guy signed up with the stupid anti-spam service that also
cannot distinguish list mail from personal mail: get yourself another service
provider who knows something about e-mail.
