Is that really true? When I had shared my SCSI bus between my Amiga and PC,
I had quite some trouble with someone writing to block 0 of the Amiga
harddisk, trashing their partition table (IIRC, it was around said offset).
But I always thought it was Win 95, as the problem wasn't there when I
bootet Linux.
