I tried a handful of machines here, but with no useful positive results. It's
been at the back of my mind to ask you, though: is it at all useful to also
collect information on what mainboards/adapters are known to *read* various
"non PC" disks OK?
Whilst writing is obviously desirable, reading at least allows people to
contribute to any kind of global repository (even if they can't recreate
submissions from others).
I too was surprised that there weren't more contributions from people who'd
tried the utility, though.
