IBM Winchesters

O.K- I'm confused. (a) Are the bad IBM drives the ones that say "Frame 
Electronics" "Manufactured in San Jose, CA, USA" (got several in RS/6ks, etc.- seem 
to work O.K (they're on topic and still chugging along) but I want to be 
forewarned Just In Case. 
     (b) are, as discussion indicates, the "Incredibly Dubious Engineering" 
interface drives from IBM/Hitachi O.K.? I'm looking for decent IDEs as it seems 
time is running out for some of my drives.
