No.  He and most other people have been trying to convince me that it's
defective hardware, and not a deficiency of the operating system.

But defective hardware is hardware that fails to do its job, and these
drives have done their jobs under Windows NT for eight years.

In this case, the OS is defective, because it's not doing its job.  I
know the job can be done because Windows NT does it.

I don't remember if I ever did it myself.  Compaq servers are such a
nightmare that I tried to avoid dealing with them.

That may be, but I installed an off-the-shelf retail version of Windows
NT on this system, and it ran without any problems at all.
