card. All backup files are kept in a fireproof safe.

Since most of my backup system is on Zip disks, I started worrying about
the reliability of the high speed SCSI card.

I know all electronic equipment can fail. Should I be concerned about
the SCSI card?

I turn the computer off each night!

Any thoughts?

Most of these equipment are 20~30 years old. I've heard the designed life expectancy of most integrated circuits are about 15 years, so I tend to think most of our equipments are living on borrowed time...
