Wow. That sounds rather cool...

Well get an image via dd of it quick! At least then you have the data intact 
even if the drive goes bang (and it takes a while to find a replacement).

You'll *probably* find that a larger capacity drive will accept the dd image 
and work fine in the Amiga; you just won't be able to use the 'dead' space at 
the end of the replacement drive. Might be worth a try if you have another 
spare larger disk lying around the place.

What sort of SCSI interface does it expect on the drive (narrow / wide / SCA)?

cheers
