Log looks good (but try the reverse order, maybe?)

FTAPE/include/linux/qic117.h (ok, I've a 3.04d, but that should

  /*39*/ { "EOT/BOT System Failure", 1, },\

  /*20*/ { "Self-Diagnostic Failed (cannot be cleared)", 1, },\

Looks an *awful* lot like a dead dodo^H^H^Hrive.

Can you stll get it replaced?  (or does it work under
