Anyone else remember "stiction" ?

Sure. It started out on 40meg Quantum brand 3.5inch SCSI drives. Due to the
quickly changing technology, Quantum got as far as the LPS (Low power) 105 meg
drives before they found out about the problem and replaced the grease.

I've heard of a few 20 meg drives having it, but have never seen one.

Where there other manufacuters?

As far as I know, it never affected MFM/RLL/IDE drives.

That was in the early 1990's. By now, most drives of that age of any
type and manufacturer may be afflicted by it.
