I think what Simon is on about is CRCs being routinely used on the cable
between the disk drive and the CPU.  When I was involved in this stuff
you usually only got a parity bit on each byte transferred.  CRCs for
all disk command/result messages would definitely help close a risk area
--- but that's only one risk of many.
