Not wishing to contradict you, but that's only because the *drive* is unstable when it has bad blocks (I speak with 10 years of data recovery experience) - FireWire TDM is no different to putting the drive in a FireWire caddy - the Oxford chipset is acting purely as a bridge at that point (and a much "gentler" bridge than most caddies, in fact).
Of course, the drive should come out so it can go into a power-managed caddy for data recovery, but as I understand the situation, Nigel may not have a caddy at all...
