I had an external HD on my A1200. For some reason I've always had trouble with it disconnecting and I once made the mistake of connecting it backwards (it was a special connector that had power and IDE lines in one). Long story short, I killed the main harddrive.
had exactly the same experience. it was dark, late, and I had the power cable wrong. It was an internal drive, mind. I was lucky to receive a new drive under warranty but lost a lot of work in the process.
My other scarring moments were all about phone bills and my first modem..
