Thanks for the suggestion; it'll be nice to know I'm using a good, stable 
driver (no disrespect to the bge folks, of course, as I understand that 
the documentation provided was a bit lacking).  I've managed to find one 
for £20, which is hopefully the correct one: it's a "BLK" designation but 
its hardware specs look identical.

Of course I should be looking at a new motherboard at some point to 
replace this rather elderly thing, especially as my SATA controllers are 
equally flaky, but that's a subject for a new thread!

And now to follow Matthew's recommendation to use TCP connections for my 
NFS...

Cheers!
