- The question I have is about the internal Duo drive (an 80 meg). I've noticed
- that every so often it makes a little thunking sound (the closest thing I have
- heard to it before is the sound a 44 meg Syquest makes when it is winding down,
- right before the lights go off and you can eject the cartridge). I've made
- sure that sleep and the screen diming are off, and it continues to happen
- even when docked...anyway know if this might be a problem about to surface
- or if it is standard on these small drives.....?

- It is the IBM drive parking its head during inactivity to protect
- itself if you bump the machine.
