Yesterday I installed a new 73GB disk and copied all files from the old to  
the new disk, both on one SCSI-cable connected to the internal interface  
in a TT. The size of the biggest file that I copied is at least about 50MB  
(but on ext2). The whole process took some hours, and it all went well  
using cp from the command-line.

The main difference between FAT and VFAT is long names and case-handling,  
but none of the low-level stuff (as far as I can see all fs use the same  
function bio_writeout). And I think all the SCSI<->IDE-handling is done by  
the disk-driver.

Does it work when the target is on ext2?

Are all your devices powered by one PSU? Maybe one drive sucks too much  
power under MiNT?
