PS/2 is it. A lovely standard that allows you to electrically pop your
motherboard if you replug live

Utter rubbish. Did just that yesterday on a ECS K7S5A motherboard.

Not utter rubbish, I've fried a few. Plug or unplug either of the PS/2s
on some motherboards and you get to kiss the motherboard good-bye.

What are you doing to the poor things that they corrupt so well? I've
always found NTFS to be less fragile than ext2

Which version of NTFS? There's more than one. NTFS5 is extremely
robust.

This I'd agree with, though none of the NTFS versions deal well with
total power off, immediate shutdown or similar IME. Particularly if
something happens during a write to disk. The problem with most MS apps
is that you can't tell when the bloody thing has actually written to
disk.

MS Access caches database reads and writes in memory, many SATA, SCSI
Raid controllers cache writes in memory. About the only way to be
certain All The Data Is Written To Disk is to shutdown cleanly.

Beyond that it gets to be guesswork.
