[Gllug] Hard drive problems

[James Roberts]

I personally think it is more to do with the changes in the UK supply 
specification due to harmonisation.

I do not have the figures at hand and cannot come up with a suitable 
Google search spec just now, but the current spec allows dips of a 
greater magnitude than the old one did.

These are quite enough to force restarts on well designed 
voltage-critical parts - and silent failure modes on the less 
well-designed...
